We have passed this so many times over the years and are glad we finally made time to stop. We were met by Rudy at the entrance who gave us the most interesting and entertaining history on the motel/cottage rentals start in 1920, thru it's evolution to present day. The occupants & contents were as unique as the cottages themselves. We enjoyed perusing antiques, arts & crafts, pottery, photographed art works ~ just so much to see. Everyone was pleasant to visit with, and we enjoyed a few friendly pups and many friendly cats along the way. We will be back for sure.
Thank you for visiting and for taking the time to write a review!! We appreciate it!
