Stayed the weekend in the hotel and had a great experience. This is not a fancy hotel and could use some TLC ( there is no elevator so be aware of this) but for the price and the bonus of having a beautiful lake, swimming beach with water slides, plenty of lounge chairs, lifeguards, restaurant and lounge area. Just can’t say enough good things about it and the staff at friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back and may get a cabin next time!

Stayed here in 96, Yea 29 years ago. with centimark (roofing crew) Remember great buffets for breakfast and dinner, eatery was frequented by retired folks, good ole southern fixins, the mammoth building straight east across the highway called career something, we put that roof on, thats the age of it. Hale bopp comet was visible every night. All year. It was a enigma. Life was good

I needed a hotel to break a long drive in half and this fit. Id rather spend my money for a locally owned place like this. Its dated but clean. The buffet was pretty good for dinner, and for breakfast.

Great find, very relaxing as we were there off season. We had an issue with our motel door but it was handled immediately and with great courtesy. It looks to be a fun place for family and kids in session. Would recommend.
