The surrounding landscape is characteristically lush, with dense forests and vibrant flora, making it a favorite destination not just for kayakers but also for nature lovers, photographers, and birdwatchers alike.

reviewsWhat Paddlers Say

Stayed in a King room (not a cabin) for two nights, check in was easy but note the front desk hours. Clean, comfortable, spacious, aesthetically pleasing with many lighting options, furniture in great condition, mini refrigerator/freezer works well, water runs hot and with good pressure, heat works well (almost too well, I had to really turn it down), and there's even a heater in the bathroom that points towards the shower. It's noisy because it's on the highway so bring earplugs for sleep. My only minor gripe is that you can't use a streaming device because the TVs are completely locked down, but there is cable channels to flip through. The private patio with a view is fantastic. This place is really great at the price point and I'd gladly stay here again.
★★★★★Rob R
We had a great stay overall and found this hotel to be an excellent value. The views were absolutely amazing and really made the experience special. Our room was generally clean and comfortable, but there are some areas that could use more attention. The door, walls, and baseboards would benefit from a deep cleaning to remove visible stains and dirt. You can also hear some noise from upstairs neighbors and the doorbell. That said, these were minor issues compared to the overall experience.We’d happily stay here again, especially for the views and value.
