Great option in the area

This place was a great base if you're looking to be out and about in the area. It's a pretty straightforward motel, no bells and whistles, but the room interior was very clean, recently spruced up, and comfortable. It was foggy while we were there, but there's a pleasant area and dock to sit and watch the lake during downtime. I also appreciate that the Three Branches bakery and cafe is a short walk away and open at 7am in season, so grabbing a quick bite before heading out for the day was incredibly easy. We will very likely stay here again.

Check-in is across the parking lot at a gas station. You have to wait in line with gas station customers. Rooms were dated and noisy. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.
