"This is the cleanest motel I've even been to. Extremely well groomed yard, well maintained pool, and impeccably clean room. The lady at the front desk was very helpful upon my arrival. There were no bugs, and yet no smell of DDT, like so many other hotels have. Highly recommended."

"We had everything we needed and we were very comfortable. There was even a nice welcome basket. It definitely had a cabin feel rather than a house and some areas could use some updating, However, it is exactly as it was pictured. The outdoor area surrounding the house could have used some TLC."

"Excellent location and setup, I only wish I had more time there! I booked this as a last minute extension to my trip and I'm glad I did. I got in late, but had clear instructions, and was still able to take a shower under the stars and enjoy a sandwich and beer across the street at the river view bar and grill. I wish I coulda stayed later the next day, but needed to get back to Sequoia, which was very close. I hope to come back for a few relaxing days!"
