This is a beautiful little hotel. The room felt recently renovated and was perfectly clean and nice. The bathtub was really deep, which I particularly liked, being a big guy. Everything was just super nice and I was able to back my Jeep right up by the door to our room. If the weather had been nice, we could have walked to the Fishin' Pond restaurant across the street. It's location is perfect for all the recreation opportunities at Land Between the Lakes. We were there for the Turkey Bay ORV area and to explore. Best of all, the price was an outstanding value. It was probably the best value I have had with a hotel in many years.

ASKED FOR A SMOKING ROOM They told us one would be available the day after but we watched someone checkout of a smoking room as we pulled in. It was cold and rainy and they told us we couldn’t get into a smoking room.

Definitely stay here!

Booked it 20 minutes before we arrived, and when we got there the owner/employee/whoever was just coming out of our room after leaving the key and receipt in there (unlocked, of course). He offered us more blankets and help setting up the pull-out couch. He was SO nice! And our room had 3 queens and a couch, so could have slept 8! My kids were all happy to have their own beds. And the price was CHEAP. It was so clean and comfortable that I wished we were staying longer! If we ever come to this area again we will for sure!

My wife and I had our honeymoon here in July 02,2022. We decided to return for a anniversary (2 yr). Shawn and family,who still operating the Motel, work their tail"s off to please their guest. I even remember being in the pool and watching Shaun installing alot of the camera 's around the location. So if you are reading this review,Go by and check them out.You will feel at home with these friends,that we have grown to Love. I would rate them #1 on everything. Thank you Early American ,Your the GREATEST. Terry and Linda Frye
