Bullwinkles Rustic Lodge

Absolutely beautiful room the pictures don't do it justice....we got a suit and it's perfect for a kid free night and that whirlpool tub is off the chain 💕

Have stayed here a few times. Love it. Quiet and good AC!!!

I was here friday night downstairs, and i came across the front desk clerk outside smoking marijuana and i questioned about it, wondering if his boss/ manager new he was smoking on the job getting high, and he started getting a little hateful with me, and said its none of my business and that he runs the motel, clearly he doesn’t definitely not professional enough to do that, but on the other hand the property and rooms and bar were all lovely.

We stayed at this motel during a cross country move. It was a quick place to lay our heads before continuing the next day. The staff was friendly and gracious enough to stay past the 10pm checkin to accommodate our late arrival. They even let us in after I locked us out. The room, however, was subpar. There were mosquitos everywhere, inside the room. The moment I stepped in, I was swatting mosquitos. I understand nuisance mosquitoes, but not in my motel room. There were cobwebs in every corner and the tub was dirty/stained. The bottom of the shower curtain was pink with mold. The “continental breakfast” that was offered consisted of an empty basket placed in the room. We purchased bug spray, sprayed ourselves and the room, and decided it was only a few hours until we were leaving, so we’d stay. I tucked my legs into the sheets and they were gritty. The bed felt like a pullout mattress. Luckily, I was able to sleep on top of the sheets and the bug spray worked.

I will mention the grounds are pet friendly and decently accommodated with a pond, gazebo, and bar. I hope this helps people be prepared if they choose to stay at Bullwinkles.

Amazing we loved it 😍

They are great at Bullwinkells . The rooms are clean the staff very friendly.

One of my favorite places to day drink

I met the love of my life at Bullwinkles and we come and stay at the lodge and relive our first date. We always have a nice experience.

Young man at front desk very nice. Hotel cat was sweet. That would be the highlight of our experience. First room we checked in was never cleaned and was a filthy disgusting mess. Then we moved rooms and it had clean bedding and the jetted tub was clean. The second room had leftover coffee from god knows when on, in and under the microwave as well as the floor. All faucets and mirrors far from clean. In the end we cleaned the room ourselves so we could finally relax before going to the event we were in town for. After driving 6 hours all we wanted to do was relax and they didn’t make it possible. We investigated both rooms and at least we didn’t find any bugs in the rooms. I talked to management about setting things right and got told I would have to go to the booking platform to have it made right even though they took my payment at the lodge. We won’t be staying ever again and they need to train their crew better or start replacing the cleaning team.

The owner and staff are extremely friendly. It's a beautiful rustic lodge. The bar and lounge were definitely an added addition. The pizza was great. We've stayed here before and are looking forward to our next visit.

TLDR summary: unclean room, worn out needs updated facility, rude unhelpful manager. Had a family emergency and stayed in room four hours charged for 2 nights .

I hate writing bad reviews but sometimes it’s necessary.

I booked a last minute “mini honeymoon “ for my baby little brother. His wife is 9 months pregnant and they couldn’t go far from home so we booked three nights at bull-winkles for them. They checked in late at 9pm, at midnight I get a call that she is going into labor. I talk to the desk clerk explain the situation they say the manager will not be back til Monday but they assure me they will understand the emergency. Me being in a hurry to get to the hospital takes his word for it. Call today (Monday)and Sherry the manager is unprofessional and far from understanding. she blows me off and says “we don’t give refunds when you’ve been in the room.” I say I understand not receiving a refund for the first night but the other two is what I am referring to. She says she will look things over and hangs up with me. She doesn’t get my name or phone number or tell me her name or a timeframe so I call her back. It rings 6 times before she answers again. I ask for her name and a timeframe she says her name is sherry and she must put me on hold due to another call. hear the receiver set on the counter and can hear background sound but can’t make out any talking. After remaining on “hold” for 5:57 I hear someone pick up the receiver and hang it up. I immediately call her back and she answers as if she is greeting a new person. I tell her that she hung up on me and she says oh it must have been a disconnection. She then says we can’t give u a refund it’s through a third party and we don’t do these. I say so u are saying I need to call booking.com to get my refund? She says “sure” I told her she could have said this in the first place instead of the hold/hang up. She says “ I didn’t hang up on you”. The call ends and I call booking.com who was super apologetically and helpful. They called to deal with sherry. They call me back and tell me sherry refuses to refund more than one night. So I call my brother and sister in law to get details for this bad review. They said the room was disappointing but it was a gift so they had not told me. They said The blankets and decor were old. The room needs new paint. The jacuzzi tub short curly hairs in it ( So they couldn’t even take a bath which was why we chose this room). The only thing I can say good about this place is the boy who checked them in at night was very friendly. That’s it. Seriously run the other direction.

Rooms: Need updated. Dirty.

Nearby activities: Several flea markets and antique stores nearby. But far from anything else.

Walkability: Tall Flight of stairs to most rooms. Pretty gazebo on grounds.

Food and drinks: Bar is the only place to eat
