Everything was great, I had a wonderful King bed with a view of a pasture that brought in deer at sunset and Monica the Manager, was so warm and welcoming. I was traveling alone, and she make a big difference in my trip to Hendersonville. Their location was fabulous too. I'm so glad I made such a great choice staying here!

This motel is a hidden gem! The rooms are clean and recently remodeled. The manager makes the stay, though. She is friendly and knowledgeable. We spent the night on Christmas, and she had called around to find out what local restaurants were open. The building sits of the road, so it is quiet but also a bit tricky to find. But it is worth the trouble!

Housekeeping came in everyday and made the bed, left clean linens and cleaned the bathroom. We recently stayed in a “high end” hotel in Hendersonville that did NOT provide that level of service. If looking for a place to spend the night I highly recommend.

Perfect inn for a boat / jet ski trip with friends

Nicely renovated motel, very clean, & great location, at a very reasonable cost. Perfect place to stay for a jet ski / boat launch for local trips on the lake or river with friends. Launch is ~10 minutes away. The manager was very accommodating to 3 trucks and trailers and a pleasure to deal with. Within walking distance of a DG & grocery store, gas on corner, decent restaurant and pizza pub across street. Excellent seafood joint a short drive down road. Would definitely stay here again!
