What a fun vibe to this hotel. Away fromnthe road, quiet, and it feels like a cabin!

It was a clean quiet motel. Waking distance to local places and a 2 minute drive to others. Close to hiking areas and very beautiful area

Being a rustic lodge motel, it was pretty much what we expected…clean, comfortable, but very dark rooms.
Selina, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was spacious and clean. Air conditioning worked great on hot days. Slept well. Was off the road just enough to be quiet but still close to everything.

Comfortable beds, clean rooms. Close to Natural Bridge. Only problem was the TV in one room was a smart TV that we could not get anything to work on

Everything was great
Vaghinak, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It’s a cute motel right by the Natural Bridges State Park. There is a good pizza place, a Mexican Restaurant, a coffee shop, and ice cream shop nearby, as well as other shopping. Room was clean and had a fridge and microwave and WiFi. A little musty but ok. After hours (4 pm) your key is in a clear box in an envelope with your name on it in the front of a building that’s a strip mall which seemed a little too trusting to me. The office door is off property and is locked with a sign saying employees only. Beautiful area!
Grace, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Smallest bar of soap I ever saw for two day use for two people. The room was nice, but the beds not that comfortable.
Jon, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The main issue was not enough towels. There is sone pealing paint on the outside. The drive on the wsy in has sone nasty potholes.
Ronald, 1-night trip

Property was well fine and dandy. Unfortunately a garbage truck took out the dish TV line so we did not have TV the last three nights were there.
