everything! location staff comfort value ! we have always had a good time !!!

Ken United States of America

We liked that pets were welcome, room was great size, and small area for food and prep was a bonus. We were on a slight rise and had a view of a beautiful valley.

Marsha United States of America

New owners took over a few months ago after a death in the family. They are EXTREMELY GRACIOUS and generous. Invited us to their family 4th of July BBQ, and checked in with us several times to see if we needed anything. The cabins are older/brick based, but very comfortable. We have stayed here before and will definitely be back! They are also pet friendly which is great because we travel with our labrador❤🐾

Eileen United States of America

It's a basic room/cabin with no frills and a very attractive rate. The location was perfect for our needs. We will stay again. We just loved the simplicity.

Flor United States of America

Room was Great very clean and comfortable location was perfect Great views and close to all the places we wanted to explore

Chris United States of America

Nice environment surrounded by farmland, great sunsets from the porch. Room is clean and well appointed, plenty of usb outlets and wall sockets. Bathroom is great, hot showers with good water pressure. Location is good for visiting Bodie and it is convenient to go get food at Bridgeport.

W United States of America

Nice and quiet. Good location: only 1 mile from town. Very small (6 units?!) family owned motel. I wish them success.

Ho United States of America

Doesn’t look so hot from the outside but the cabins are nicely done inside. Small but more than adequate for short stays. Friendly, helpful staff. Awesome view across the Big Meadow. Quiet at night.

Jd United States of America

Good location. The price was very reasonable. Staff was nice and helpful. Clean room and it had a fishing pole holder in the room.

Nathaniel United States of America

Simple clean room. Comfortable beds, friendly staff., reasonable price for the area.
