Nice Stay

Cute mom & pop. Owners friendly. Everything very clean. Shower is VERY small, but I doubt my 6'4" 250 lbs boyfriend would fit for a decent shower, Beds were hard and pillows flat, but if that is your preference, then don't hesitate to stay at this little gem. Bar & grill across the street...didn't go

Waters inn

The owner was friendly.. turned on the cable box for me.. tightened the toilet seat but i think it was too far gone to fix and later in the night it fell right off! It was an OK place...i thought it was in Gaylord but it was in water.. with a Gaylord address... very nice guy running this place... it makes a difference.
