Great place to stay. Everything we needed! Easy to work with and check in was so easy. Also walking distance for anything we needed!! Highly recommend!!!
The place was fun and the neighborhood was WONDERFUL! The water had been shut off and the kitchen window was broken when we got there, but they fixed it right away. If you're looking for somewhere to stay when you come to watch the race this is perfect.

We love the friendly small-town feel, the race weekends, and the easy access to outdoor activities at Red Rock Lake.
