No hot water.

After running the warm shower for 2 min it turned ice cold and never recouped to hot the next day. There were 4 spiders in the shower with me. The bed was very comfortable. To my wife’s dismay, there wasn’t a hair dryer and no receipt for the stay.

Nice motel with good scenery and good coffee in the office in the morning if somebody is there. The in room coffee was standard hotel issue. Heat didn't work at first but the desk person reset it and then it was OK. Large outdoor firepit with chairs and I think they had wood. Peaceful and quiet.

This property started out okay until we took a shower and noticed the water would not drain out, then the next night the toilet would not flush and when you tried to flush the sink would gurgle and water would come up out of the shower floor drain. The layout wasn't the best, but it was workable. They also didn't really have room to put your suitcase or clothing.

Stay was great. We were escaping the ice storm up north so having a hot shower and warm beds were everything.
