Cute and clean
We were backpacking in Big Pines and needed a close place to stay the night before we left. The rooms were clean and cool (it was 95 in Big Pine when we arrived so the AC was welcome). Motel itself was cute & had a resident chicken that we fed before heading in for the night. Host was as nice as they come.

Welco.ing and comfortable
We were met graciously and given snacks and water. We spent a quiet night in clean well appointed room. There is even a patio with picnic seating and a grill. It was a nice stay after a long ride.

A Wonderful Stay
I had a great experience during my stay here. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, making it easy to relax right away. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality of the owner—He was incredibly generous and welcoming from day one. You can tell he genuinely cares about their guests and goes out of his way to make you feel at home. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and pleasant place to stay!

nice managers and great picnic area by the rooms
Friendly owners, clean room. The cleaning chemicals used in the room were a bit too perfume-y, though. Unscented would be better. Nice area with picnic tables so you can have a picnic dinner. No breakfast provided but there is in-room coffee and a minifridge.

We were just passing through and stopped for the night. We felt very welcome, the room was very clean and comfortable and the outdoor sitting area was perfect! We would definitely stay there again when we pass by in the future!
