A perfect size stay for 3 friends getting away for a day at the spa and a day shopping and eating around town. The sidewalk picks up right before the accommodation so it's a really nice walk to the center of town! Easy check-in and had everything we needed. ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Convenient to town, ie walkable, but not in the hectic hub. It was quiet and relaxing. The last night we enjoyed a yummy pizza from Mike’s just down the road. We could dine outside on an amazingly beautiful night, with our private table and chairs. 😊 ##### Joan Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### clare Oct 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This is a very nice inn. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C75B9A6923223C47ED834A35CB4884637493DE041729441879131.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### clare Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica Jul 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautifully renovated inside and very clean.

It was clean, cozy and peaceful. We were able to walk to and from downtown to great shops and restaurants. The owners were kind and accessible if we needed anything. It’s obvious that a lot of thought and care has gone into this space. Will definitely stay here again if we’re in the area! ##### Molly Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cute and Charming Super cute little motel. An older building of 6 units each one being completely re-done. Charming decor and clean. Self check in was very simple. Much like some other reviews, there is no entrance sign on Rt 20 so it’s a bit hidden. Would definitely stay again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lelanda Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Gate is a hidden gem! Super clean, super comfortable, fantastic shower...everything was like new! This place was excellent for a couples weekend getaway. We really enjoyed having our own kitchen with the relaxing living space. A nice sized bedroom with the most comfortable bed ever! Everything was perfect, including the ease of walking into town to shop, dine and have drinks! To top it off, I left some clothing items behind and Seth the owner called and offered to mail the items to me...talk about outstanding guest services! We would definitely return for another stay in the future. A 5-Star accomodation for certain. Book this place, you will glad you did! ##### Lelanda Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig Aug 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice remodel in a legendary lake town This is a completely new remodel, set back from Rt. 20 behind a house. The "kitchenette" is more expansive than most in suites of this type, occupying the back wall of the "living room," which features a comfy sofa opposite an enormous flat-screen TV. A little tricky to find, as there was no sign out front--but they have now remedied that! There are only 6 units, which makes it nice. The only real downside was the price. Hotels.com gigged me $336 for one night. Had a very pleasant chat with the owner, who suggested \_calling them directly\_ for substantial savings. ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elda Patricia Jun 11, 2025 ##### Elda Patricia Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lenore Oct 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Lenore Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca E Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Rebecca E Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Freddie Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Freddie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony Jul 6, 2024 ##### Anthony Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Apr 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved the old pictures of the motel and the interior design.
