This is just the cutest motel. Vintage but updated with comfy bedding and fluffy towels. Just lots of personality. The sweetest couple manage it and we learned so much about the history. The cold spring the motel is named for is steps away. Also right at downtown area but in a scenic quiet area. You can easily walk around town and the trails on the mountain above Central Avenue which is great since ALL of town is now paid parking. As another plus your fur babies ate also welcome. My daughter and I enjoyed our birthday girls weekend very much.

Clean, comfortable beds/linens, outdoor seating and convenient to walk to restaurants and bathhouses. The Terrace walkway entrance was just 1/2 block away and was a perfect quiet stroll to the other side of the bathhouse row.

We always love staying at the Happy Hollow. We call it a diamond in the rough. The great staff, allowing pets and the proximity to the National Park and the town center far outweighs the flaky paint

I love how it still captures the charm of its era. The place is very clean and in an ideal location—perfect for bringing your dogs along. It’s nestled at the foot of the hill with hiking trails nearby, yet right next to the vibrant strip of town. Highly recommend!

The location of Happy Hollow is convenient to the hiking trails, the cold water spring, and a short walk to downtown. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable but the pillows were not firm enough for my needs. Kitchenette was a bonus. Cute retro motel with everything you need.
