Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew B. 4 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location It was a decent place to sleep, and great location for accessing the off road trails. In regards to location though, you are on display on the Main Street going through this tiny town. No back yard, no privacy in front. There is a lot of traffic, and they do not obey the speed limit. Also, no convenience store or anywhere to get supplies for about 30 miles.We got a visit from a very large pitbull on our last day. My wife hid in the house with our pup until I was able to get the animal to go back to its owner. It was a scary and stressful situation as my wife is deathly afraid of the breed.We did have a great time on the trails! Some of the best in the state! Just don’t go during the week. Everything is closed! We saw 2 places to eat/drink, and rode 250 miles in total. Neither place was open. Pack food. Pack beverages. There is no cell service in the area, so be sure to take an emergency radio! ##### Andrew B.
