Really comfortable room but only room for one easy chair due to the large spa bath. Great having the fenced outdoor area for our dog. Nice friendly staff. We would definitely stay again and recommend to everyone. Many thanks to the team.

At first glance, it looks like just an ordinary motel, yet the owner has managed to bring it into top 1% motel in the world. The reason is simple—genuine care and attention to detail. The bed linens are clean and of high quality, the rooms are spotless and bright, there is a beautiful backyard, and even a large indoor jacuzzi. Everything is thoughtfully prepared from the guest’s perspective. Staying here also gave me a life lesson: even the most ordinary and humble things can achieve success with dedication and effort. One small note: the hot water is just enough to fill the jacuzzi once, so if several people take showers in a row, the later ones may need to wait a little while.

Small motel with a path access to the lake. Nothing fancy and room was expectedly cozy but everything was clean and comfortable and the owners helpful and friendly. Good location just outside the town. Nice to walk along the lake and enjoy the scenery of the flowers and mountains. Good value for the money.
