Always clean, easy check in, great restaurant next to motel
This well maintained retro hotel brought back childhood memories of trips to family run resorts. Simple but relaxing. Hospitality from a nice midwest family.
We needed a place to stay, nothing fancy, and this hit the mark. Our room was clean, everything worked as expected. There was a working microwave and fridge which is always nice to have. We would have no problem booking this motel again.
Great stay for the price. Clean room, great service.
Host gave recommendations for hiking places near by too.
Beds are not soft and if you’re on the top floor you can hear people walking by pretty loudly. Mostly children running.
This property was so quaint and beautiful, located close enough to Catskill downtown shopping and a farm stand and brewery, yet surrounded by quiet and restful woods. It's nestled in the Catskill Mountains with a lovely pool, a guest kitchen, and play areas. The fireflies even came out for me to enjoy as the sun set! The rooms are huge and neatly kept, the bathroom is scrupulously clean, and the staff is kind and friendly.
Older hotel but everything was in working order. Comfortable bed. Had frig, coffee maker and microwave. Had nice pool. Next to a excellent brewery/restaurant.
Nice and quite property. Beautiful natural environment. People are so nice Richard the manager and room service guy are very friendly

Good location,friendly and helpful staff.
Unfortunately, there was an issue with air conditioning in one of the rooms we booked, but we were able to stay in a guest house on the property. Very accommodating.
Ice machine was also not functioning , but we got around this as well.Property could use an update, but it’s good forth price and the manager makes up for any deficiencies.
Stayed up here to go skiing at hunter mountain. It’s a great cozy place with the attendant, Rich, being very welcoming and helpful. It’s conveniently located next to a brewery with food to walk over to for a quick bite. Would stay here again.
Catskills resort meets motel. Nice pool. Great staff with great hiking suggestions. Older but clean. Ac worked well. Small fridge with decent sized freezer. Mattresses too hard for our 60s bodies. Otherwise, great value.

A terrible nights sleep on a lumpy mattress. The other bed had dirty sheets. Bedspreads were not clean The room had a moldy smell. Facility needs to be upgraded. Can’t believe this was AAA approved. For $158 it is affordable. Not worth it. The reviews were good. I guess reviews aren’t always reliable and true.
