The room was clean and the location was perfect. We had no issues with our room. The room was located on the bottom so you could hear the guests running around above. But overall, good size room. Warm and clean

The room was clean. It’s right at the main road crossing the town. Staff was kind. It’s a family business.

It was like sleeping in a forest cabin. The outside was a bit deceiving but once we met the hosts and saw our room, we were pleasantly surprised. The exterior is in need of a little fresh paint but very comfortable with a family friendly stove heater with soft fire (very warm and adjustable). The bedding was so soft, lofty, and fresh. Just a few miles from Big Trees State Park and downtown Murphy’s (both a must see).

Bring Ice
yes it was a nice room the receptionist was nice. I was disappointed there was no ice machine. The motel is right on the hiway #4 and is close to Big Trees national Park. There are only a few restaurants but there are few within walking and a few not much more than a mile away. We had no trouble sleeping, good beds but when I awoke early 5amish I could get back to sleep,street noise overwhelming.

This was an exceptionally quaint, well run, and peaceful place to visit. Plus the location next to so many good restaurants and Hinterhaus was ideal for the capstone to a day in the woods or snow.

The rooms were large and clean. I appreciated the option for having 2 separate showers and toilets so that all family members had access to facilities just like home. The refrigerator and microwave were helpful for warming up food.
