The Hartman Rock Garden is most definitely a unique roadside attraction.

What started in 1932 by Ben Hartman as a concrete fishing pond, expanded into an entire mini world using thousands of stones, a myriad of plants, handmade figurines and one hell of an imagination.

After Ben's passing in 1944, his widow, Mary took over his labor of love until her passing in 1997.

The garden began to succumb to neglect but was renovated in 2009 and is now open and free for visitors every day.

"The location was good. Restaurants nearby. It was safe and quiet. Please don’t be hesitant because of how the outside looks. My room was GOOD. Large tv. New cabinets and counters. Refrigerator and microwave. I had an updated room and it was clean. I really liked how the room was presented. And it was cheap too. I would definitely stay again."
