“On a whim we pulled in on our way to Dale's Wheels Through Time. Decent room rate, comfortable and clean rooms with a very nice look. A restaurant and bar... attached. Delicious food, a great patio outback with pavilion beside a creek for outdoor entertainment. Are you kidding me? My wife and I LOVED it. Great place to stay, relax, enjoy entertainment. Perfect.”

“The rooms are very simple and home feeling. Nice touch to hear the history. Did not like the lack of hot water and the fruit flies in the bathroom, but that usually comes with moisture. Extremely friendly desk staff and very helpful. Beautiful river in the back.”
