I absolutely loved my stay here and would definitely stay here again. The room is nice, but what I love is the feel. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the place is set up for enjoying the beautiful view, relaxation or socializing. And goats!

Well, it’s a place to stay for the night. The place is old, and feels like it’s just barely hanging on. You might think about driving past this one.

The hotel staff was excellent! The room was clean and comfortable, with the exception of the air conditioner. It squeaked so badly we just turned it off and opened up the windows. We would definitely stay there again, and would recommend it to others.

No doubt they have the best, top-notch, super nice staff! Although we stayed for just one night, we loved our stay. My only recommendation for management is that I think some things need to be updated, like the showerheads, bedding, and pillows. Not a complaint, just a suggestion! The rooms were very spacious and we loved the location nice view and very quiet—only 12 miles from the Forrest Gump movie spot and Monument Valley. I will book again for sure.
