We booked last minute for a wedding and the man who helped us (I believe his name was..? David?😅) was so nice! He informed us that they were closing soon for the season and I felt bad bc it felt like walking in 10 minutes before a restaurant closes. He washed those worries away immediately! He was welcoming, kind and polite. It snowed the day before we got to the motel and when we arrived the room was warm with the lights on and the tv going! We will definitely have to come back! The motel was clean, comfortable and charming!

This place was so cute and very clean. The gentleman at the front desk was so nice and gave us a local map and told us the best places to eat. He also gave us a map of the waterfalls when we told him that is what we were in town for.
