Hate to leave a negative review but for the $260/night price, the room was way outdated, very cramped, and extremely uncomfortable albeit very clean. The owner is on site and very nice and accommodating. She got ice for us and started a fire at the large pit in Front of the motel which was lovely. The grounds are well kept and pretty with the historic rock looming in front. The 2 double beds in this very small room are SO soft and uncomfortable that we barely slept. One is crammed next to the wall. There are not enough plugs for electronics and the shower is an extremely small pvc unit , a single sink with no place to put anything. This is like a motel yesteryear and way overpriced.

The best motel we've ever been to!! It is so cute and charming, it was all decorated for fall, I loved it!! Super friendly and helpful staff!! They provided great recommendations of places to eat and things to see. Bed was comfy and the pillows were nice, we slept great! Clean and stocked with toiletrie items. They even provided a basket of snacks and a couple bottles of water. And it didnt cost a fortune!! If we ever go back this is where we'll stay for sure!! Loved it!!!

Yes, yes, yes! Our very favorite. Much love and care has gone into making this older motel something special. It is scrupulously clean, manager brought us baskets of treats, water provided in the fridge, backs up to woods, very quiet. Each room individually decorated in warm style. The manager even built us a fire after dark in the fire pit. Views of the Green Mts out the front. On an historic byway.

There’s no place like home ! This place makes you feel like home and treats you like family. Amazing owners and Staff . Snacks and clean rooms ! The view of the rising sun over the colorful changing tree tops was a treat all its own .

The rooms were clean and comfortable. Mattress was great and had a good night sleep. Pillows were fluffy and smelt fresh! Sitting around the fire at night was so enjoyable. The staff was supper friendly and helpful.

Really great place to stay! Very cozy and homey. The staff was great. They leave a snack basket in your room filled with delicious snacks :). Very family oriented and pet friendly! There’s a beautiful fire pit with beautiful Mountain View’s. I would recommend 100 percent!
