This was a very cozy place to spend the night after hiking the nearby trails. What I really liked was it was so close to, Timberline Lodge, Mirror Lake and allows pets. Definetly will be back, as there are other hiking trails nearby.

Old motel renovated
Love the concept of renovating an old motel! Location is right off a US highway, so if you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs. We were just passing through, good for a one night stay. Had a nice steak dinner on the grill out front.
This was our second year staying in the same apartment. The units are freshly refurbished and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The property manager was super responsive to addressing the couple of small things we needed taken care of. We look forward to our visit again next year.
