Room was not clean, one bath towel for two people, no hand tools or wash cloths, no hand soap or shampoo. Parking is not the best. Could hear person next door snoring all night. For anyone expecting to eat breakfast early then take off you will have to wait until 9:00 am because the lobby doesn’t open until then so you can eat.

When we checked in, there were no towels or TP in the room. Microwave was dirty, and the refrig had an old pizza. Shower/tub had mold. Next morning the lobby was closed at 8 am, so no \"free\" breakfast. This hotel has definitely gone down since our previous visit. Won't stay there again!

I read the reviews before booking this hotel so I knew what to expect and they were correct. The hotel was clean and the staff was very nice and accommodating. The facilities were showing their age. The beds were hard and yes you need to bring your own pillows. Plastic was still on the mattress which I liked due to being less likely to have bed bugs but my wife found it noisy. I could stay there again but might pick another hotel.

DO BETTER OR SHUT DOWN

MY FIRST AND LAST TIME EVER AGAIN!
The receptionist was very nice, funny, could carry a conversation and just overall good. Now she deserves a RAISE and deserves help in there!! Whoever is the owner I hope YOU READ THIS. You should in-force your policy rules. I was told that quiet time around the lodge is 11pm okay if that’s so then no one should be throwing every single furniture around nor woman at all up and SHOULD have not been allowed back on property. Just please get that woman up there just extra help and a security guard for the weekends there WOULD NOT BE TOO MUCH TROUBLE. I thought me and my fiancé could have just a quiet night together. They were loud from 7:30pm to 4am! I hope some changes will be done very soon. I was not expecting to be in a disguise Motel 6 or Relax Inn truthfully. I was disappointed, I was expecting an actual lake lodge

With a little help, this place could be Great.

Could have been a wonderful room, however. Floors were unswept and ceiling had mold and cobwebs. Otherwise the room was very comfortable and quiet. They have a really great bar next door to the property.

Very old and outdated. You could hear the people in the next room breathing. The beds are not commercial and I couldn’t have sex with my wife bc we would have woke the entire motel. The air conditioner in our room made the worst squealing noise the entire time it was on. Very out dated place. I paid for a king bed room and got a room with 2 twin beds. Overall bad experience and I won’t be going back. The bar next door is great but the motel is horrible.

Excellent choice!!

I was super skeptical about this place because it was slightly out of town and the rate was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised. It was honestly the best place we’ve stayed in a very long time! The room was huge, well decorated, and exceptionally clean! The bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve slept on. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again! The only thing that was lack luster was the continental breakfast. There were snack cakey type foods, but I can’t complain.

We liked the room it was very clean and quiet. The bar that is located next to the Hotel was also very nice but so loud that you heard the music in your room. I use to be the housekeeping supervisor at Holiday Inn in Poplar Bluff and so i k ow what it takes to clean the rooms after a stay and the housekeeping was above and beyond expectation!!!
The only thing I would change is the website called our room 2 twin beds which it was really 2 Queen. I was worried we wouldn't have enough room for our son and his 2 small children,but it worked out with the beds being Queen.

Rustic, for sure!

Arrived to a room that stunk like cigarette smoke, with an ashtray and a \"No Smoking\" sign. No toilet paper, no tissues. Asked front desk if it was a nonsmoking room and was told it was. Clearly, it had been smoked in many times as the stench was in the blankets (which we did not use) and the curtains. The bed was very uncomfortable and had a plastic sheet under the fitted sheet so every time you move, it wakes you up. (I hesitate to say why they need the plastic sheet.) Woke up with a terrible back ache that took a lot of Advil to be able to drive the next day.
On the bright side, the young man at the front desk was really nice, polite and helpful.

My room was huge and very clean. There was parking for my Jeep and the trailer I was pulling, which was also great. Dylan provided a great check in experience. The lounge next door is a must! The decor is incredible! Angie the bartender is wonderful, get her brisket sandwich, delicious! This is a rustic hotel, not updated or modern, so if this is not your thing, go elsewhere. I thought it was fantastic! And the price was also super good! Highly recommend.

A pleasant experience!

The accommodations were eclectic but quite nice. The WiFi was weak and bandwidth was a bit limited. Not painfully limited, but not adequate for steady streaming. May have been just our room - it seemed to vary within the room.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay and the staff were very helpful. There was a loud party above us, but that was a one-off. If you are looking for something eclectic and don't need 4 stars, this is for you!

Clean overall but very dated. The towels were stale- not musty, but they didn't smell clean/fresh either. The tavern on the property was extremely smoky and ultimately we chose to eat elsewhere. Hubby and I agreed that it would be a reasonable option to stay at for a quick overnight while passing through in future, but maybe not for an extended stay.

I would have loved this place, if I had stayed there when it was newer. It must have been awesome! It is now outdated and needs some TLC. I’m not going to pick it apart, but I should mention the super LOUD air conditioner…which I will add worked great to keep us cool. The bath tub is stained and appears dirty, though it was probably clean. The desk chair seat is badly stained. I loved the soft bedding, but the pillows were flat. The bed was comfortable. The name fits. It’s rustic. Don’t come here, expecting a fancy chain hotel. It’s not. Do come if you want a taste of country with the feel of a cabin. PS - The trailer park next door does not add to the scenic value, but the corn field across the road is nice. The pond out front is disappointing.
