The owners were wonderful and the motel had everything we needed for our stay. We were dropping off our campervan and spending the night before flying home and their shuttle made the transfers quite effortless.

After getting our rental car, we arrived LATE after hours. The key was easily accessible in the lock box. The room was perfect for a one night stay after a flight. Left early the next morning but the hosts were helpful and very kind in giving us advice. I would stay again!!
