I liked the location and the people, everyone was friendly. The room was clean, the A/C was cold, the shower was nice with good water pressure. My only complaint is the mattress was uncomfortable. And I needed more towels. The BBQ restaurant across the street was good but didn't open until Thursday. I would stay there again but next time I will bring extra towels and pillows. I had a great time in Daniel Boone National Park. Thank you.

Road from highway to bridge (very short distance) was very bumpy. Tiny bar of soap - bring your own. Heat and A/C worked well.
