This was an unexpected delight - a motel we found in a search. Lots of room inside and recently renovated. Lots of seating outside including picnic tables to sit and soak up the view, plus they recommended a restaurant in town that was fab.

For an overnight stay Motel Happy Salmon provided a clean comfortable room in a convenient location. The motel is newly renovated in a pleasant style. There is a terrific pub in Canoe Village at the lake, a short walk down the hill from the motel.

Check in was easy.
Large room with kitchenette and very clean and comfortable.
Grounds were very clean and had nice seating area on the lawn.
It is right in the highway and a little ways from town but was happy with the size of room and how clean it was.
If just passing through and not needing to be right in town this is a great place to stay
