Great old school charm.
Pros:

Terrific staff. The bed was comfortable and I love the back porch overlooking the river. The entire place has a wonderful old school roadside motel look and feel. You even get a real key! I saw a big elk across the river and a pair of geese spend much of the evenings wandering the property.

Cons:

The Wi-Fi was weak and spotty. It would stop working suddenly.
