This place is worth $30 a night at best. It looks like nothings been updated since the 70's. I was way overcharged, had to shorten my stay from two to one night for legitimate reasons beyond my control & owner would not give any refund; said it was because it was an internet reservation. Someone obviously needs an education in customer service & what the lack there of is costing him. As another reviewer put it the Office is creepy. The walk way wasn't even shoveled. When you go to the office at 9AM on a Saturday morning you don't expect to have to ring the doorbell and then get greeted by a disgusting old man who obviously just rolled out of bed. The room had an easily compromised single lock doorknob. The Decor is tacky to put it mildly. The bathroom had a rusted radiator, a tiny makeup mirror, no tissue, no shampoo, and of course scratchy towels. Don't give this thief your money. You'll do better at Motel 6.

After reading some of the reviews on this website I was a little nervous but our room is very nice. Our room has a little balcony overlooking the pool and a pond, and you can smell the piney air and see a big mountain in the distance. The room is spacious and comfortable, with a little kitchenette with plenty of cookware. It's right near a lot of restaurants and you could walk to the downtown area from here. The pool is full of dead bugs so that wasn't so great but it was still nice.

There are so many folk who demand the Ritz, but will not pay the price --- but then complain they were not treated as the king and queen of complain-ville.

I've stayed here twice. Both times the rooms were clean and offered all amenities one would desire. There is a nice pool for the summer.

For the owner and proprietor, Charlie, a most thankful thanks. You made my stay most pleasant. And you allowed me to shower, past check out, after a race, when you had already cleaned the room. Small business focused on customer needs at its best!

For you folk used to a chain or the Ritz, you are not welcome. This is not a chain; this is a small business. Enjoy being treated as a person; not simply as yet another of the "unwashed" masses by a chain hotel where no one cares about you because staff only work there at low wages.

The reviews were so mixed for this facility that we didn't quite know what to expect, but the other half wanted a wood-burning fireplace and it limited where we could go. Also wanted to take the dog for a change and not worry about him disturbing anyone if he barked, so the cottage was perfect. It was the same price as a nice hotel room in the center of town, but those didn't have the fireplaces nor the pet friendliness.

Charlie the owner was very cordial when we made reservations on the phone. We had none of the problems stated here, which seemed to be more with Priceline and its ilk than with this facility.

Minuses: If you want elegance, this isn't a quaint B&B-decorated cottage. The word "rustic" pretty much describes it. The kitchen is separated by bare plywood-type material and the decor is minimal/functional. We were there two nights but there was no maid service - probably because we were in the cottage??? (We were supplied with more than enough towels etc....). Buildings are nicely kept up from the front, but behind tend to be a bit tatterdemalion, if that sort of thing bothers you. Aforementioned towels are sandpapery (washcloths ok). Soap is supplied, and a wall-mounted hair dryer (surprise) but no other amenities...not a biggie. Some water damage on bathroom wall in cottage and a bit of rust on baseboard heat. Not close to downtown (if you want to walk).

Pluses: The place is clean; all fixtures in bathroom look brand new. Kitchen has all appliances including coffeemaker, microwave, toaster, stove and fridge, all very clean. Cookware and dishes are more than sufficient, Water pressure in bathroom shower is reminiscent of Seinfeld episode with the elephant shower - it'll blow you away! Hot water comes up fast and there is plenty of it. Cottage is plenty big and fireplace is wonderful. Wood, newspaper, matches supplied. Beds comfortable. In season, lovely flowers in windowboxes (big magenta geraniums finished up the season when we were there). Property overlooks a dammed river - very nice; has a walk to a little grove and a firepit; there is a charcoal grill under two towering pines. Charlie was a very up guy and very nice. Free wi-fi, good tv's and cable. Other half threw himself into the easy chair and exclaimed, "With the fire going and the ball games on in this easy chair, isn't this great?" Pet friendly as I said (and no extra charge for the dog, unlike most places).
