It was a wonderful way to start the day!

This roadside motel is a lovey throwback to old Americana roadside motels that was a little slice of heaven. Foor $60, we reserved a king size room, which had a microwave, a mini fridge, great wifi and cable TV (important as I don't typically sleep well and use the TV to fall asleep). They also had a continental breakfast room with OJ, coffee, fruit, yogurt and honey buns. As a person with insomnia, I have to tell you, I had the best night's sleep that I'd had in ages! The mattress was comfortable, and the bedding was so soft and smelled fantastic (I'm aware that sounds weird, but I have sensory issues...so much so that I spoke to the owner in the morning when we checked out about where she purchased the bedding and the type of laundry detergent they use.) When we checked in, they recommended a local restaurant for dinner, the Sundown Bar & Grill, and I am so glad we went to dinner there! I cannot recommend this motel more! From their friendly staff, and comfortable rooms, to their fun decor and beautiful grounds (picnic tables & Adirondack chairs), I will definitely stay here again when we travel through this area. Every roadside Motel should try to be as awesome as this place.

The building is themed as a tribute to century farms in the area, with it being shaped as a clerestory window barn. However, it builds on the design with an open concept with natural lighting, which let the bright early autumn sunlight to filter through into the building. The roof is supported by glulam framing which adds to the natural, warm feeling that the space gives off. In the back, there's a room that has all glass walls, providing views of the forested area in the back with a trail. Around the building there are picnic tables and a pet relief area. The bathroom themselves were sparkling clean!
