The picture showed cabines when I booked but we were in a motel, so we were not what I was expecting.

Good, but small
Was a good place for an overnight stay. Was quite small. But it worked as we were just passing through.

Adorably furnished tiny log cabin was one of the highlights on our month long road trip. I highly recommend this place.

This motel was very nice. I loved the rustic look of the room. We had a problem with the TV when we first moved in, however I called the staff and they came right away and was able to fix the problem.

The mini-cabin was nice. Our main frustration centered around getting into the cabin. When we arrived the key was not where it said it would be. A key was delivered promptly but the following day when we first used it, we discovered it did not work easily. It usually took over a minute to two minutes to gain entry into the cabin every time we left and returned. This happened repeatedly over a two day stay.

Was marketed as a cabin which it was not. Beds were not queen, they were full. Rooms were extremely small and cramped. Fridge, microwave and coffee maker was in the very small bathroom.

Place is pretty isolated. Funky check in process. No staff on premises . Not much choices for food in area. Room was very small and dark.
