The family who own this motel go above and beyond every single day for all their guests. Very welcoming as if the guests are family. They always make sure we have everything we need and encourage us to call the front desk at any time of the night if we need anything like blankets for example. The motel is always so clean and comfortable , beautiful scenery. This is the only motel I’ll go to in the area and prefer it over the newer builds/hotels . We will continue to book there. Thanks to you all for making our stay enjoyable.

It was very clean, older fixtures of course but the price was right. There was only a microwave to heat water , however going for coffee at the local coffee stop led us to find out about the beautiful scenic Dam so no complaints!!

We stayed one night, room had a musty smell. Towels very small and thin, tub mat was a hand towel. Seems they have hard water as tub and shower curtain were brownish stained. On a brighter note bed was comfortable. Parking right at your door, which we couldn’t use as someone parked their truck and trailer giving no room to park our car. Friendly staff…

This place is terrible. Dust & dirt, large box in the corner of the room, a child sock on the floor, bathroom sink was clogged and there was no curtain. This place looks like it is in the 50's & $110 a night is a ripoff in the highest.Bad, bad bad

A good, affordable little motel

We stayed for the weekend for a couple's getaway while our son was at a camp about an hour away. It was a simple room with white walls, but very clean and comfortable. The flooring was nice and updated looking. We chose it for the price. All appliances were unplugged except for the fridge. There was no coffee maker. We don't know if/where the BBQ is. Very small soap and shampoo packages for minimal waste. Garbage and recycling bins were in the room. The TV has a Roku remote. There is another review mentioning a curry smell - that is in the front desk as the owner family lives on site. There are two very small towns nearby - recommend the chip shop to eat out, and the restaurant next door is for breakfast and lunch closing at 2. Local businesses have limited hours because the towns are so small. From the description I was expecting young families, but it was very quiet. Would recommend for a nice stay on a budget.
