Cute Little Cabin
Pros:

We stopped here on our way to Las Vegas. The room was very clean and new. Smart TV was a nice bonus! Enjoyed the large jet tub after a long day of travel. You can sit outside on your porch. We did hear road traffic as it is right on the main highway. Dog friendly. There are places to walk your dog next to and behind your cabin. You do not check in at the office. You will get a room code when it is check in time. We did not meet anyone who was ‘in charge’ of the facility. For the price, you can’t go wrong. We went to the little ‘lake’ that is about a mile away to walk. Sadly, it is almost dried up due to drought conditions. It is still a nice park to get outside and get some fresh air and exercise. Restaurants are very close by.

Pros:

I showed up to my room (12) and the door was open. There were towels on the floor and the trash was full. I figured I might have made a mistake so I go to the front office and there is nobody there. I call the number and I get sent to voicemail right away. I go back to the room and my code does not work. Absolutely horrible experience. I ended up staying at another hotel. I'll be asking for a full refund in the morning.

Pros:

The check in process was not what I expected but not in a bad way. Office looked like storage unit, number on the window to call no answer. Finally reached the maintenance man. He said he would call the person who can let me in. Apparently no staff on site around 6 pm. Someone called me gave me my room number 12 and gave me the lock code for the room. Didn’t work tried several times. Finally worked and the lady on the phone was pleasant. Nice room really liked it but there was no workspace as I was on a business trip. Liked the fireplace and jacuzzi tub. I come back again now I know what to expect.

Pros:

Room was very nice with a small table and chairs right outside the door to sit and enjoy the cool weather. Only complaint is the pillows were not comfortable for us and bed frame rattled every time my husband flopped over. It was nice having a mini fridge and microwave. There was even a small lap blanket!

Pros:

We stayed in unit 14. Room was clean. It sat back far enough that we didn't hear the road traffic. The table and chairs on the deck were enjoyed daily too. The shower looked nice and sprayed fairly nice but wasn't to user friendly. The stationary glass door was installed on the valve side,so you got wet turning it on.

Not a great experience, room was nice.
Pros:

Room was remodeled and very nice. Trip was interrupted because we had to move to another hotel for our 2 nd night. There was construction started early at 9 am right in front of our door to our room. A huge loader started digging a huge treacherous to do work on water pipes. Left to get food and couldn’t even park in the lot, let alone in front of our room. NOTE NO ONE IS ON SITE at this motel. The office is closed and you must call a number to speak to someone about any issues or questions.an off site management company takes care of this property. Didn’t see a maid in the morning to ask for more towels.
Also, be aware that the building right behind the rooms is a long term living situation with questionable people who live there, use the fire pit and the BBQ. Nice enough, but just not the atmosphere we were looking for or wanted.
We checked out early on 2 nd day due to water issues and construction but still waiting for a refund for our 2 nd night since it was prepaid in advance when reservation was made. Haven’t heard back about refund after 2 phone calls to the property management. Hotels.com will be next call.

Pros:

The rooms definitely look just like the pictures which is nice. The rooms were nice. The room was clean for the most part. I did find a bloody finger print on the outside of the back door which was a little concerning. It seems as if they are remodeling some of the rooms in the back. At night it was super dark and hard to find the entrance at night. There was no one at the office at all the entire time we stayed luckily we didn’t need anything but if we did I would know how to reach anyone since no one is in the office even though there are office hours but seems to be closed? Parking is a little tight. But over all we had a great time staying there. The design of the rooms was beautiful and had everything we would need in the room. I would book again.

Pros:

Floors were dirty and there was no hot water in bathroom sink. Being on the end unit at ground level by a guest entrance was not a good location. There were other guests coming and going all night and the road was right out bedroom window. Also, the pictures showed the room had a couch but there was not one in the room. The bed was comfortable and kitchenette was nice.

Cozy weekend
Pros:

We loved our stay! It was quiet, and cozy. The only problem was the deck out front was dangerous and rotted out. If we hadn't seen that during the day light it may if Dave been a bad night😅

Pros:

The room was nicely decorated…it had a rustic cabin feel. The lodge is conveniently located off the main road and close to several eating choices. I especially liked the electric fireplace and large jet tub in the bathroom. It was a nice cozy getaway.

Pros:

Very cute and clean room. The only thing I would recommend for anyone staying there if you use a blow dryer take one cause there isn’t one. That’s my only complaint/suggestion.

Average stay
Pros:

The room was clean & updated—however—pictures on your site show rooms with fully equipped kitchenettes—so we brought food to prepare simple meals—we did not have a kitchenette—just a toaster, small fridge & microwave—and tiny coffeemaker—a couples bowls and utensils. No table/chairs to sit on—small low couch —no safety bars in shower/tub—hard for us seniors to get in & out of —we don’t like that there is no property manager on the premises—you have to call a number for help or information —we would not stay here again
