I liked the location and the people, everyone was friendly. The room was clean, the A/C was cold, the shower was nice with good water pressure. My only complaint is the mattress was uncomfortable. And I needed more towels. The BBQ restaurant across the street was good but didn't open until Thursday. I would stay there again but next time I will bring extra towels and pillows. I had a great time in Daniel Boone National Park. Thank you.

Road from highway to bridge (very short distance) was very bumpy. Tiny bar of soap - bring your own. Heat and A/C worked well.

Unique motel, not a lodge. It is a basic no frills room. Linens and bathroom area was clean., which is most important. Floors could be cleaned bit better. Overall good for a short get away. Check in lady was super sweet.

Best place to stay.

This is my second time staying here. Perfect location and I love the rustic looking rooms, adds to the experience of being outdoors. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I will be back. The price is very reasonable too!

The room was very clean. We slept really well. Was cute like a log cabin room. We were able to walk across the road and get food and listen to some really good music. The location is great close to the highway and there is a very quaint coffee shop breakfast place very close. The parking is great.

We were a little concerned when we pulled up and saw the truck with two flat tires that had been there for a while and the neglected state of the property. However we were pleasantly surprised with our room. It was clean and perfect for just needing a place to shower and relax after a long day of hiking.
