We have stayed here several times over the years during family reunions at Camp Pine Lake. The motel is consistently clean and comfortable. I noticed the bathroom had been upgraded since our last stay. I was especially grateful to the staff this year for kindly mailing to me an item I had forgotten after our stay. They go above and beyond to provide excellent guest service.

We had a great stay at The Village Motel. The owner was very accommodating and friendly. He let us check in early for a special event. Our room was recently remodeled - freshly painted and new sink in bath. It was clean and beds were comfy. Parked right at our door and it was very quiet. Highly recommend!

Not the fanciest place but it was clean. They could use some new carpet. The beds were very soft. But sheets were nice and not too stiff (like some motels are) a plug on the outside to plug our EV in would have been nice but it’s all good. It was nice to have a fridge in the room. Overall not too bad of a stay, for the price. Staff was very kind!

This is the only motel in this town. It is older but is kept clean and they put fresh towels and make beds daily. What I didn't care for is there were 3 pick up trucks that would park in front of my room in the evening, and men were sleeping in the trucks but would leave early in the morning. It is expensive for no amenities and being in a rural area with nothing around and the TV did not work.
