10/10 Excellent
"We were very pleased after reading so many bad reviews. The hotel was clean, wonderful staff, great breakfast that had cereal, waffles, eggs, sausage gravy, fruit, pastries and breads. Our room had a nice smell when we opened the door and the air was on so nice and cool. Now if you are fussy well then you should not be shopping in this price point. Chipped paint, cracks here or there or a little dust in high corners do not bother us. All we care about is what we and other people will be touching us cleanand this certainly was. In fact the hotel exceeded our expectations and will stay again."

LAKE COTTAGE WITH DECK - 5 Star - 2 kayaks - 40 minutes to Columbia

10/10 Excellent
"This cottage is on a beautiful, flower filled property with a breathtaking view of the lake from the living room windows. It was clean and well cared for. The hosts went above and beyond, as they thought of everything you could possibly need for a "home away from home" stay. They were also happy to provide information regarding restaurants, walking areas, and sightseeing. Having coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening on the deck that overlooks the lake was the height of relaxation. I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a tranquil get away by the water!"
