Renee, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were amazing! Very friendly and helpful when I arrived. Also, extremely accommodating when i originally messed up my dates. When I arrived in a massive rain storm in a car, they helped me plan places that I would safely and easily make it to in my vehicle. The room was great and held temperatures wonderfully. I highly recommend staying here.

Always great

We were back after a 12 year hiatis. Very comfortable motel room with 2 bedfooms. It is dug into the hillside, which keeps it cool. There is also air con. There is a basic kitchen with thepossibility to cook in the kitchen in the main house. We loved sitting outside for breakfast. Thank you for our wonderful stay!
