Nice place to stay when they don't price gouge you during off / low season. Liked: Room was relatively clean. Def better than other places in the area. Location is nice on the water. Disliked: Although it was empty, they would not allow early checkins at all. Not even 1 hour. The floors are very uneven in the room and the walls are paper thin. I could see feet prints on the flooring. But not a speck of dust in the room and the bedding was very clean. Staff was not rude, but not friendly.

We like this place and group of motels and it works well for us on our annual trip. Liked: John was wonderful and helpful. Disliked: Wifi in cottage was poor. Available kitchen items for cooking were poor. The front burner on the stove did not work.

It was a decent stay at a great price for my family Liked: Location and it was large enough for my family Disliked: The sink in the kitchen leaked water all over the floor. The cleaning crew was new and didn’t know it had a back bedroom and second bathroom and they didn’t give enough towels. Also the hot tub didn’t work and the pool was cold. Needs some updates and it would be an amazing place to stay.
