Small motel with a path access to the lake. Nothing fancy and room was expectedly cozy but everything was clean and comfortable and the owners helpful and friendly. Good location just outside the town. Nice to walk along the lake and enjoy the scenery of the flowers and mountains. Good value for the money.

Just stayed here overnight - but was fantastic - definitely the best motel we’ve stayed in whilst on our travels. Great selection of utensils so could actually cook a meal. Lovely hot bath and you could even wash your clothes for free in the laundry room. Great value for money. Would be lovely to stay here in the summer with being so close to the lake
