Quaint little hotel on The Swanee River!
Great little motel. Rooms were very clean and stocked with essential items. Pool was nice and even had friends come by to swim and visit. It’s has a beautiful view of the Swanee River . Also has a nice fire pit and setting areas to enjoy the outdoors. Owners were very nice and eager to help with anything. Definitely a nice spot for a good night sleep. We will be back.

It is a convenient location close to the state park with a wonderful backyard overlooking the Suwannee River. There is a wonderful Sweet shop across the street from the motel and some excellent dining up and down the highway.

Everything was perfect during my stay. Checking in and out was no problem. The staff was there to answer any questions I had. This place is perfect for boating and sking. With the river as your back yard what else could you ask for. I will be returning to the area and stay here.

This place was so disgusting we turned around and went home. Canceled the hole vacation. They offered to give us another room but they were all gross. Extremely gross. Stains on blankets and sheets drywall had mold and holes. Showers were all worn out and gross. The one room we were staying in had food and liquid in the bottom that nobody cleaned up. Happened to see the owner as I was giving my keys back and he didn’t apologize or offer money back. Simply asked if I would like to buy the place because he was sure I could run it better.
This place was disgusting. I can’t believe a reputable company such as Expedia would even promote this
