“This rustic motel suits those seeking basic lakeside lodging; dated rooms offer adequate comfort with good beds. While views may be limited and amenities are sparse-including a simple breakfast-the friendly staff and ideal location avoid tourist crowds. A worthwhile option for travelers prioritizing location and a no-frills experience.”
