If you are in the vicinity of Ashland, this is the place to be. The breakfast is bare bones (but included!) and the staff, rooms, and ground are wonderful!

I liked the unique country prints that were used for artwork throughout the inn. We also liked the furniture, nice pieces not cheap chain hotel pieces. Very comfortable and absolutely spotless! Would definitely go back & recommend to friends and family.

Pros:

This lodge-like property is on a beautiful reservoir and features a continental breakfast with the chance to sit outside and enjoy nature. Our check-in experience was not great, but the manager Amy stepped up to address our concerns and turned around the experience. Strongly recommend as an alternative to generic hotels.

Cute Inn on a Lake
Pros:

Very quiet, tucked away spot. The inn is perhaps a bit dated but lovely and comfortable and would be even nicer in the summer, vs February! It’s right on a lake and very wooded. Service was excellent, decent complimentary continental breakfast. Recommended.

Pros:

Beautiful location along a reservoir with woods/trails.
Lovely cozy fireplace and lobby area. Fresh fruit for breakfast and cordial/helpful staff. Spacious room and bathroom. Mini fridge
and microwave in the room I would come here again. Grounds must be even more stunning in spring, summer or winter.

Pros:

There is no beach or a beach present. All wooded area, terrible landscape work also. location is in isolated area, back woods and hard to find. No signs to direct to motel, and had to call for someone to follow us to motel area. Price of this place was not worth the visit. very poor breakfast, price of room not worth the stay. Only area looking nice was lobby as shown, of the center itself for previous conventions, etc. Motel was complete opposite...................
