"Love this motel. Very clean and private. Sitting on a hill all by itself. They were bailing hay in frontwhen I was there. A deer was behind the hotel. Very quiet and serene. I have stayed multiple times and it is always a joy. Staff is very friendly and breakfast excellent. I highly recommend this motel. I stay here instead of Huntington, because of the calm and because it's so safe."

"The place was excellent and remote, the best part. Plenty to do if you like the woods. Don’t let the dog part of the listing throw you off. We couldn’t hear them unless we were outside and a random car went by. The hot tub was sweet with a great view. It was a great stay."

Cozy Yatesville Lake Cabin Rental in Louisa!

10/10 Excellent

"Originally we were gonna stay at a hotel until I had the thought to compare prices and I am so glad I did!!! For 1, it was slightly cheaper than the hotel and 2, it was so amazingly beautiful!Our favorite was sitting out on the porch with the morning coffee & just enjoying the surroundings! Our youngest loved being able to go outside and explore. We came from WA State for a wedding; this was a perfect break from sage brush & cheat grass. Would love to stay again & highly recommend you do."
