Almost Perfect
Room was great and had incredibly easy access to everything you would want to see in the area! The only unfortunate part was that the walls were very thin and not very soundproof, so we were woken up at all hours of the night from noisy neighbors. Other than that, the place was great! Rooms were clean and appeared exactly as described, would recommend to others.

Cute, quiet easy to access. Great location with good food and drinks nearby. Watch out for the large hole in the driveway where the lane meets the bridge.

Closes to many activities and great places to eat.
It was so cute and cozy. Will definitely be coming back. I loved that they provided a small box fan since i always sleep with white noise. Everything was clean, and working, and best of all-you felt safe. The only thing i must say is the beds are on the firm side, but thats a preference thing so still 5 stars from me👍 OH YEAH, there boone dinner has really nice workers and fast service. Loved it all!!

I didn't have too high expectations for this property. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Clean room, comfortable bed, nice shower. Property is nice right off the main strip. Would definitely stay here.

Would have loved it but there were several dead bugs in the room, the beds were pretty uncomfortable, the heat didn’t seem to work properly and the staff was less than helpful. The limestone mine with kayaking was fun. The ark is close so we visited that.

The only negative thing about this location was that it walls seemed thin. You could hear the people in the other rooms. It would be nice to have ice available as well. We enjoyed our stay. I would stay there again. Thank you tjb

We were looking for a place to stay for 1 night on our way to another destination. This was one of the cheaper places to stay, and I'd stay there again. The rooms were small, but clean and quiet. They had a fridge, microwave and coffee machine.
