This property belonged to a ship captain a long time ago and has some great History. Met the owner and got to hear some of the history. Very unique and worth-while experience!

Everything was very nice. The beds were quite comfortable. I wish we could have a little more exploring around the rounds like walking areas behind or something.

This is an older motel that is being brought back to life. The room was quiet and comfortable, The fall colors beautiful. We were here only one night just to get a good night sleep before adventuring on. No complaints-it was a little spendy. It was a little different not having a live person to visit with, but it worked. Received a text with the code to get in. Someone set up the continental breakfast, but we didn't see them.

The view and quiet peaceful atmosphere of the Yardarm Motel is fantastic. The privacy of having your own check-in and easy morning coffee is wonderful. To add to it, the owners are interesting and have a fascinating story to share if you are fortunate enough to bump into them during your stay.

Actually reservation canceled after being informed of night construction and loss of internet. Host was very gracious and texted me to inform me that because of those issues I could cancel and they would refund the reservation money which I compliment them for.

Perfect for a quick visit to the area. The room was very clean. The communication from the motel was clear and explained exactly what I needed to do to access the room.
