This was a great place to stay. Ideal for people prior to heading on their mountain adventures. I was very pleasantly surprised. Nice, decorative property. Cabins are small but clean and well cared for. Nice quality towels, bed, etc. Also included is a sit down breakfast served to you. I highly recommend!

Hwy. 395 Trip
We arrived at the motel around 3:30. A note on the office door instructed us to ring the bell. After about a minute the door opened and we were greeted. We walked into the office gave our name and Doug, the clerk, entered everything on the computer. He directed us to our room and then ld us to park in front of it. The room was cozy and there was some noise from the roadway.
