I have been staying here for several years off and on. The White family sold the business two years ago and this was my first stay since they have left. What a difference in the upkeep! The same funky furniture and quirky decor were there, but the place is not decently maintained. There was wallpaper peeling at the edges, there... more

I hope our experience is an isolated case - I hope if you're considering staying here you read this review. We were in town for my cousin's reception which was located nearby. My crew included my parents, myself, my husband and my 3 and 5 year old children. We stayed in the 'apartments' which had two bedrooms and three beds... more

I had heard that this place had changed hands and was hoping it was still the great place that I'd read about. I was not disappointed. i made sort of a last minute reservation and arrived late. There was a courteous man available to meet me in the lobby and I checked in with no problems. My room was clean... more

I love the Whitehaven and the owners, (if it's still the Whites) We have stayed there many times with and/or without our pet. This place is not the Taj Majal but the cleanliness, comfort and friendliness can 't be beat. The price is pretty much o.k. too. Where else can you stay in an old time motel, park in front... more

While this is an older motel, it is reasonably priced, and the service couldn't have been better. It has been run by the White family for years, and the homey atmosphere is fabulous. Rooms are "creatively" decorated--not my taste but fun. more

Last week we stayed at the White Haven and as usual it was great. The location is convenient, the rates are modest, the rooms are extremely clean and well maintained, the free coffee and breakfast rolls tasty and best of all, the White family is still making sure that guests feel like guests! I recommend the White Haven to anyone... more

We have stayed at the White Haven for 20 years off and on and the place is the greatest. We have had family reunions there also. Our little dog loves the place also, so what does that tell you? It says it has great character and the comfort of home. This place will surely be missed when the developers finally... more

A wonderful place to stay. Not only centrally located in Johnson County, but strategically as well. The people are like family, hospitable, always willing to please and occasionally open to sharing a part of their lives with you. The rooms are not only very reasonable but comfortable, cozy and quiet. I've been staying often these last 3 years and it... more

I believe the White family is going to be celebrating 50 years of doing business at White Haven. A reporter told me that it was like "time had stood still" at this motel. You'll find great service and people who care deeply. If you want a great and simple experience, stop here! more

If you're only going to use a room to sleep in and not part of your vacation experience, like a B&B or a resort is, WH is decent and clean. They also have a couple of bungalows. Within a 2-10 mile drive of a variety of places to shop and dine in all price ranges. Centrally located, easily within a... more
