Everything. We ended coming back the following week for a couple more days. I enjoyed the private hot tubs and the heated pool. My family were very happy with the strong water pressure.

The motel is situated in a delightful spot with a lovely crystal clear brook running through the property, affording an opportunity for a nice short walk watching the Rainbow trout in the stream. The staff are welcoming and very helpful and the stay here was very peaceful and quiet.
