I am VERY particular about our accommodations when we travel. I always read the TripAdvisor reviews, but have never felt the need to write one...until now. This motel has caused me to reconsider the motel experience.It is far better appointed than any hotel chain. I don't want to be redundant and repeat the details that are already posted. I do want to express how wonderful our stay was.The place is absolutely charming, cozy, comfortable, and relaxing. Well maintained and a GREAT staff. The Pines is a quick trip to the downtown(s), but the feel is "away from it all". We couldn't decide if we wanted to stay in the retro fitted room, sit outside the room, or relax on the deck nestled within the "Pines". This was our anniversary trip, and if you want a romantic couples get away, this is where you need to go. Fantastic...We will either be back to the motel, or bring friends to the guest house.
