One of the best places I've ever stayed! We booked a queen room online, but once we got there we realized we wanted something a little bigger. The owners moved us to a king room, no questions asked. There was no hot water in the shower of the king room, so they upgraded us AGAIN free of charge after spending a good 30 minutes trying to fix it for us. The owners were so accommodating and kind, and it really made our stay! Everything was nice and clean, plus the decor was perfect for a small town lodge. Highly recommend!

It's a page out of the 50's. The rooms are small with a bed and a small bathroom, but are spotless. It's a hotel built in 1949 in a small rural town with all it's quirks and amenities. The owner is extremely friendly. If you make reservations expect your key to be laying on the front desk with your name by it. Definitely a recommended stay.

Step back in time in a clean, cozy, comfortable place with friendly owners who are bringing this jewel back to its former glory. The rooms might not be big or modern but reasonably priced and comfortable, if we had more time we'd have definitely stayed longer....maybe next time

I spent two nights here on my walk across America a few years back. Super charming,; as if frozen in time. Prices were reasonable and the staff friendly. Definitely stood out on my long hiking adventure.
