What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We have booked here 3x in 2 years & wouldn’t go anywhere else! We love Etta & her staff are all wonderful. Room is always clean, the property is well kept & close to all.”
“This is a lovely, family-run hotel that is convenient to our meeting sites, water, etc. The beds were a little old and smushy, and they were updating the wifi last spring when we last went. We liked it enough to return this year! OH, and there are peacocks that roam the grounds. You can even feed them!”
“Check in with more than easy, beautiful views awesome sunset, great fishing on property, even caught bait on property! There is a boat ramp next door and we were able to fish from shore all night long. No restrictions! The rooms were older but fixed up nicely, and the owner was awesome 100%! And on the other side of things, a quiet romantic getaway could also be had at the same time! Went with my dad, it was a business trip and fishing. But I definitely take my girl there.... And, I hope to soon! Thanks for the hospitality y'all!”
“Beautiful place to stay, right on the water, close to town, but still really quiet and you feel secluded. Very interesting layout of accommodations, beautiful, friendly peacocks that roam throughout the property. Extremely reasonable rates on the rooms. Dog friendly. Very nice rooms, super clean, and the staff that works throughout the property, are very friendly, including the owner. She was very pleasant to talk with for a few minutes. I highly recommend this stay.”
“We love this place! So peaceful! Ms Edna is awesome and sweet. Everyone is friendly. Clean hotel. Stove, fridge, kitchen sink, dishes all available with an awesome view! Gazebo with coffee and a drink machine to sit and watch some TV! Great to just walk around! Sunsets are AMAZING! Peacocks have been there for many years and are always a treat for us to see! Thank you for the stay! Hope to see y'all again!!”
“Absolutely perfect. Comfy bed. Safe environment. Just really nice to be so close to the water. Full size refrigerator, stove with oven and a full size kitchen sink.”
