Liked: Staff & service
We stayed in the inn, not a cabin. It was fine but definitely not the most comfortable place I’ve stayed. We were in town in a busy weekend and it was pretty pricey. Location was good and I liked the river sounds if you opened the sliding glass door. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

It is a small quite clean motel kind of set up. The age of the building is very visible and clear but cleanliness is good and it is a beautiful location with a creek flowing right behind. So I will highly recommend unless you are very focused on a high star accommodation
