Was really a cute place! The floor in my room could have been swept better and there was dog hair all over the couch. But it was really nice other than this small thing. Like the easy check in and contactless.

This was a clean room with easy self check in. When we were the only ones in the building, we got upgraded free of charge which was kind of them. It was a perfect stay for two adults taking a weekend away from the kids. There was a bit of noise pollution, which is the only reason for the four stars on the "area around the property"

We stayed for the Labor Day holiday weekend. The owner was fantastic in assistance with check-in, parking our big boat, and suggestions on things to do. The room was spotless!! They have done a nice job with renovations. I highly recommend staying here.

We booked a 2 night stay in the family suite after having to evacuate a local campground due to flooding. The owners were fantastic about letting us park our camper on site. The rooms were absolutely beautiful & immaculately clean. 2 full baths, a great kitchenette, & dining table were fantastic! Flat screen TV’s in living room & bedrooms were a bonus and the beds were probably the most comfortable that I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. An easy drive to Cedar Point (10 minutes) & easy access to interstates. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

It was very quiet. The room was very clean and we were very comfortable. We appreciated the kitchen area.. the only thing missing was a little sink, which would be nice as there is a microwave, mini refrigerator, and coffee maker. Easy check in via cell phone as there is no office on site.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights while we visited the area from California. It was perfect for our needs; quiet, clean, well maintained and we loved how it had a mini fridge and microwave. Felt like a nice little home away from home. The staff was very kind; the owners even allowed us to check in early since we had a redeye flight and were so tired! The location is nice for those who do not want a busy or noisy setting. It was only a 12 min drive from Cedar Point, literally down the street from Tofts Ice Cream and there were plenty of places to eat nearby. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

Wonderful stay!

We can not say enough good things about our stay here! We were a little hesitant at first to not stay at a big name brand hotel, but this property was awesome! My husband was in need of ironing a shirt and we could not locate an iron in the room. He asked one of the property attendants and in a very short time they were at our room with a brand new iron! The customer service was top notch!

Overall not bad for the price. However there was a lot of dust and dirt on the bathroom floor behind the sink and toilet. The bathroom sink would get clogged when running the water for more than a few seconds.

Needs a lot more attention

Not advertised as a contactless- checkin. Grounds don’t look like they have been updated since the late 80’s. Theses are individual cabins, that the modern locks installed don’t always work, so they are sometimes difficult to use. The doors look like they have been broken into so that isn’t always comforting when staying at a new place. Floor was was so dirty that it went through my socks and got onto my feet. Would definitely not chose this location for a business trip.
