We did have a lot of flys, 1 very small towel for 2 ppl , pool was closed for the weekend we were there, but it did smell really good in the room n was clean ,

6/10 Good

Clean but overpriced

If you're looking for the usual ammenities, this place isn't for you. Coffee, but no cream/sugar packets, no hair dryer, no ironing board, etc. It's bare bones and overpriced. BUT, it is VERY clean and the young lady running things is very sweet.

8/10 Very good

Felt Very uncomfy

Well,we have stayed in worse but we at least thought the pics we saw it would be a little cleaner :( There something on the floor but it was not,carpet,tile or vinyl,it actually seemed like it was papery and very dirt gritty.I bathroom was about the same but with vinyl flooring. We wom't visit there again,room #18.And no coffee or eats of anykind

Skip this place

I arrived around 9:30pm, not sure why but my gps took the long way - I drove down from Cleveland, OH. Since I had prepaid for the room, I didn’t feel it was necessary to contact the property. When I arrived, there was a note on the door that gave a phone number to call, indicating they were cleaning rooms. The woman said the owner gave my room away because I was a “no show” because “most people check in around 2pm.” When I said that I had already paid for the room, she quickly said she would refund me, and I asked where I was supposed to find a hotel in the middle of no where at 10pm. She then said she would clean a room for me to use but it would take around 30 minutes. I really needed a bathroom and she said there was nothing to use because the room was dirty and the office didn’t have a public bathroom. The room had no lamp, just an overhead light plus the light over sink & bathroom. The sink & bathtub were either dirty or very stained. The towels and bedding were clean and the bed & pillows were comfortable, although two pillows had no pillow cases on them. The refrigerator worked.

I should have read more reviews before booking for 2 night's. The staff was very friendly. The main thing was the bed & bathroom was clean. This is definitely not your normal hotel stay. There was no hand/bath soap or hand towels or bath mat, or hairdryer which i asked for on arriving.There was 2 wash clothes and 2 bath towels, 2 packs of 1 cup coffee and cups. They did give us more the next morning but although the open sign was on OPEN no one was in the office, so rang bell and met someone walking back to room who asked did you ring the bell. What room # and husband told her and she replied oh Y'all owe for damages! Excuse me?? There's just us 2 in room and I know we've not caused any damages. She was still asleep and said oh im sorry it was before you in that room. Not sure if they had just taken out the carpet and put in other flooring but it was sticky and dirty and the room had a musty odor which i was prepared for with air freshener. Outside on arrival was trash bags and trash around multiple rooms. Ours had ants everywhere from trash which I picked up the one bag by our door and took it to the dumpster and reported the ants to maintenance man that was later outside but other trash still there upon leaving. The stay before this was about the same price and much better accommodations. Lesson learned.... read more reviews.

Old property run by nice people. Everything worked but in "needs replacement condition."

10/10 Exceptional

The room was nice and had a nice home like feel, the beds were super comfortable and the room was very clea. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Pool was the perfect place to relax and escape the heat of the day. As a solo traveler this one one of the only hotels I will stay at alone. I feel very safe there. It was very quiet, and conveniently located near local attractions, hiking and plenty of options to choose from for dinner. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

Very rustic. Looks like they are trying to improve the inside of the rooms. Had some issues with the shower and the towels were clean but stained.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very friendly staff and clean room. Blinds had a hole so people could see in the room and we were near the office more people about. A ratty looking riding mower sitting outside our room did not look appealing.

While the room was clean, it reeked of cigarette smoke and cat urine. The walls were so thin we could hear people moving around upstairs all night making it hard to sleep.

Very unsafe.
shelia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed one night. The room was clean and staff was friendly. There were some dogs barking off and on throughout the evening but I think it was from a near by house not from another room at the lodge. The barking stopped before we got to sleep and it was quiet the rest of the night. The beds were a little more firm than I like but were still fairly comfortable. The location was perfect for us as it was only 2 minutes from the activity we had planned the following morning. It was myself and my mother and we felt safe there. Overall, it was a nice place to stay and would consider it again if I ever revisit the area.

Reservations for two rooms had been make weeks in advance. We arrived at about 8:20 and the clerk was surprised. He said notice of our stay was sent only hours before. Still, nothing had been done to prepare our rooms. We were told that they would be ready in thirty minutes, but it took fifty of course. No problem with the stay once we got into our rooms.
Anthony, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

To check in, you have to ring a doorbell. If no-one comes, you have three phone numbers to call. It took me about 30 minutes to get someone to check me in. The toilet paper roll was empty. There was no coffee or cups for the coffeemaker (I went to the office, rang the bell, and got the needed items.) Staff was very pleasant, but they are woefully understaffed.

Terrible leak in Shower. The knob on the shower facet would not stay on.

I did not like the cigarette burns, nor stains on the bed sheets. Two wall outlets didn’t work properly. Room was clean though and very quiet.
William, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I did not feel safe at this property. There was a couple yelling and fighting in the room next to me. I also could not get my laptop connect to the internet for homework. I felt so unsafe I didn't even stay the whole night. It looks like the meth capital of the country in this town.

Pulled the sheets off the bed to find spiders crawling. Smelled like a smokers house. Didnt give enough towels or pool towels. Ran out of toilet paper. No ice. We had nowhere else to stay so we went and bought air freshner and bug killer..
Cheri, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The worst.

We booked a nonsmoking, but someone had been smoking in the room. And the bathroom sink the stopper was missing and cigarette butt drop down it. The two mirrors in the room was filthy. I wouldn’t stay again or recommend it to anyone.
