It’s a cute little cabin. The furniture was comfy and so was the bed. The only problem we had was that it got very cold in the living room and we couldn’t find extra blankets. Other than that, it was a great stay.

Golconda is a small inviting town that is best visited on the weekend. We found some of the places we wanted to visit closed because they are only open Fri-Sun. We were just passing thru, but I definitely would come back to see Garden of the Gods.

1/5 - Terrible

I stayed at this location under the previous owners as Michael's motel I would give it a 5 star review. With new management and conditions it would get a zero star review. Will never stay at unity lodge again.
