It is a very nice motel with little cabins and there even is a very nicely done spa with hot tub. It was a very comfortable stay.

Cute place to stay! It was clean and comfortable. I give it 4 stars because it is a little over priced.

I would advise calling the property directly to book, it is much cheaper than paying Expedia rates!

Despite the out-dated room, the friendly front desk woman and the fact that it’s big-dog friendly made this place 10/10 for me! Our 2 dogs got “welcome baskets” and there was a fenced dog area on the property. I’d totally stay again and it felt like the owner(s) are building a special place out in Twisp.

They were very kind. Clearly in the process of taking the property from a bit run down to more up to date. Room did the job, staff were awesome. We’d return.

It was a comfortable stay in the room and the hot tub was a nice surprise, however the walls are thin, so the guests next door we’re a bit noisy, including a barking dog at times and snoring at night.
