"The newly renovated Econolodge is a great place to stay. If you were looking for a safe, clean, quiet motel this is it. The staff was very friendly. They have great coffee in the lobby, though there are not coffee machines in the rooms. There are no hair dryers, but the owners will happily let you borrow one. The TV in the room is large. The Heating cooling system is a wall unit which is easily adjustable. If you need more towels just ask ! The shower and hot water were plentiful.we would definitely stay here again."

"Heather and Jason are such accommodating hosts! If you’re looking for a small town mom and pop cozy spot to spend a night or more at, this is the spot. They’ll text you details and ask what you’d like for breakfast! Waters and tea can be available 24/7. They even provide pads, dental floss, make up wipes, etc in the bathrooms if needed. If you need anything else, just let them know. They also own two beautiful and super sweet dogs! They’re usually away from guests unless requested for that fur baby moments that you miss. It’s great because I always miss my fur babies when I travel. Such a quaint and quiet spot to relax and enjoy my time from a busy city! I will be back and hopefully sooner than later."

"Hotel was being renovated, but it did not ever tell me that when I was making the reservation. There was some noise late from revelers and some from construction. I arrived Thursday and left Sunday. On Saturday around 1245 in the afternoon, some hotel employee just keyed open my door and entered without any knock or warning. I was sitting on the couch watching football. I found it very unsettling. He said that he thought it was a checkout day room, but nothing anywhere indicated that. I do not believe he was entering to steal, etc, but was likely just careless."

10/10 Excellent
"The cabin was exactly as advertised. It's small - but you know that going into it! The bathroom and kitchenette were clean, the hosts were responsive, and the check in/out instructions were clear and easy to follow. The mattress is quite soft, which for some people may be excellent but we prefer firm. The property Is quite private, fairly well maintained, and in a quiet area. There are trails nearby but it's more rural so shops are 10-15 away. The space is pet friendly, but our puppy didn't join us on this trip."
