"I enjoy lodgings that are beyond cookie cutter motel rooms. Cabin #1 fit the bill. Loved the furnishings and more modern design. Such a refreshing change. Super comfy beds. The traffic on Main Street didn’t bother us a bit because of the location on the quieter east end of town. And just an empty parking lot away from the Dairy Queen!"
