The owners are very kind, they offered a free coffee when we arrived. The breakfast is good, they even prepared fresh scrambled eggs. Having a good morning coffe on the terrace looking down the valley is absolutely awesome. The room is a little bit small, but clean and comfortable. However the wifi is very slow in the evenings when all the guests use it.

I stayed here with a couple of my sisters on different occasions, and we've always found the accommodations suitable even when we have to double up. There were homemade muffins with breakfast the handful of times I was there, it's run by a friendly and hardworking couple. Very amiable, plan to stay again.

We come every year to the pinecone for an ATV trip. There is usually enough of us that we book the whole motel. I can’t say enough good things about the owners. They always go above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of and are some of the friendliest people I’ve come across. We look forward to this trip every year and their smiling faces.

From the moment we called from the car to reserve a room for two nights, we were pleased with the customer service from the owner. The couple that own it both came to greet us and the husband showed us to our room. They have new high tech key fobs and he demonstrated their use and then showed us the room and amenities. Both are very kind and sincere in their desire to make you feel welcome. They provide a breakfast with options for fruit, yogurt, toast, coffee, juices and delicious homemade muffins. They will also scramble or fry two fresh eggs and they were delicious. This is not your usual motel and the owners are one of the main reasons! I highly recommend
