I stay here often. It’s an updated drive-up motel and it’s wonderful. All of the rooms face the lake and have a patio. Plus it’s sooo quiet. Beds are comfy. Winter is definitely off season, but the wineries and breweries were open, and some good restaurants and coffee nearby. Self checkin was easy. A good quiet place to get away.
