Location to pond was nice. The room was very disappointing. If you sat on the end of the bed, the mattress was so thin that it came off the frame. When you entered into the room, it had a bad odor. When I booked the room through expedia, it stated that it had a microwave and it didn't. It also did not hava a coffee maker. We (2 people) stayed for 2 nights, and we were given two full sized towels and two washcloths, so we had to reuse the towels. For the price I paid for this room it should have been more accomadating and updated!

Beautiful view of the water, but our room was a bit outdated with old beds and thin bed coverings. The room also did not smell fresh — there was a bit of an odor. Staff was attentive, but rooms could definitely be updated

Great option in the area

This place was a great base if you're looking to be out and about in the area. It's a pretty straightforward motel, no bells and whistles, but the room interior was very clean, recently spruced up, and comfortable. It was foggy while we were there, but there's a pleasant area and dock to sit and watch the lake during downtime. I also appreciate that the Three Branches bakery and cafe is a short walk away and open at 7am in season, so grabbing a quick bite before heading out for the day was incredibly easy. We will very likely stay here again.
