  : We stayed at the separate building from the main lodge. Location and access was excellent as was parking.Internet was very good in the hillside unit we used, separate from the main lodge builiding.Check-in management staff and cleaning staff were very courteous. This was a very good experience overall.
  : Chairs & picnic table outside the front of the building at our unit was in need of repair. Muddy surrounding area made it more or less unusable for our stay, but that was only a minor inconvenience for us. Would sure like to have a coffee pot or machine in the unit or available onsite for guests.

  : This place served its purpose - an affordable room to stay in the night before the Great American Eclipse of 2024. It had 5 beds - very large room - we needed only 2. Great to have a full size fridge and microwave - though neither of these were included in the listing. The shower was in need of some repair - but it was only the curtain rod - the shower worked fine and there was plenty of hot water. Oddly there were helicopter/seed pods between all of the box springs/matresses. It was perfectly fine for what we needed: a comfortable place to stay. I read all of those bad reviews and was worried ahead of our trip. Perhaps, those people had an axe to grind or their expectations were just unjustifiably high - this is, after all, a pet-friendly MOTEL in a small fishing village in central NY State (not a luxury hotel in Manhattan). There were no bed-bugs, the heat worked, the TV worked - there weren't a ton of outlets for phone charging - but there was one and that was fine with us. Would I stay here a week? No, but we were so grateful to have a large, corner room with easy access on eclipse weekend. We were there for the Totality and made once-in-a-lifetime memories. That was plenty.

  : It was like they built it out of plank wood. Floors creaking standup shower it was like she built it herself
  : Everything this place was in the middle of nowhere. If it was the last resort I’d be better off camping in the woods and showering in the lake

  : Place should be condemned

  : Cleaning ladies were nice. Location is good.
  : Light switch was hanging off the wall. TV was a 15" from the 70's. Cigarette burns and cuts In the carpet. Carpet had to be 20 years old. Needs to be updated!

  : Was looking for quiet motel, close to the river, with simple check in/out and internet/TV at an affordable price to rest up for a day of hard fishing. Fulfilled all my needs. This is my third stay with them.
  : In the middle of minor construction but it did not affect my stay whatsoever (probably a bonus rather than a detriment as noise was never an issue).
