Great little spot. Outside was not super nice, but the inside was good and clean. Great place to stay if you are going to hit the lake. Not a great spot if you are pulling a boat but easy access parking without a boat. I recommend this place for sure.

Nice place but tough to park 21’ boat if you stay in the gar room but who cares you’re staying at lake fork. Had a family emergency and had to leave after first night. I will definitely stay again.

The room was great. The owner was great. Very clean. Room had everything we needed. If I wasn’t fishing a tournament or pulling a boat it would have the 5 star. Not very boat friendly. Very hard to park your boat. Other than that great place to stay if you’re in a vehicle not towing anything.

My family and I have stayed here several times. I have family that lives in the area so we always choose to stay here when we come into town. The room is always clean and the staff have always been very helpful and accommodating. My kids love seeing the fish pillows when we walk in and have named most of them! Just a great place to stay!!
