This is an absolute hidden gem. I just happen on this place when looking for a place near Elephant Rock SP and Johnson's Shutins. It's like stepping back to a nicer time....where hopsitality was still important. The breakfasts and dinners where amazing home cooked comfort food. The fact that they have a bar/happy hour and the drinks are resonsonable is a bonus! I went on a small unplug from the world weekend. I would say if you go here in the summer the atmosphere may be different but it would be a great place to stay with kids or a romantic partner. Pool, Gameroom, mini golf, river is right across the gravel road. I could go on and on.....

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was excellent and very friendly. Loved all the books and cozy furniture. Loved the cabin and woods. The food was excellent. They asked our food allergies and things we may not have liked ahead of time. Loved the games available. Loved seeing all the dogs and may ask to bring mine next visit. Loved the location near state parks. Loved the decor.

Very Good!
Really liked this place, it has very much a “throw-back” feel. The food was amazing and the staff is incredible friendly. It was convenient to do a float trip, the pool was wonderful, and having the bar onsite for the dinner hours was very nice. Some of the room could use some updating, but overall very good.
