This is a nice hotel, but as hotels go it's relatively new. No complaints on the room. We only…read morestayed 1 night. But later that day after checking out they called me to inform me they were charging me an extra $50 cleaning fee because the room had been smoked in. I debate this with the woman because I'm a nonsmoker. She told me that they found and ash. So I asked if she would send me a photo of said ash? At that point the room had already been cleaned so she could not. And at that point they already had my card and knew there was nothing I could do. Seems like a nice little legal scam they got going on for the off season to help keep the lights on. I'm betting they do that to every one night guest that comes through. So Hickory County.

I would have given this place a good review but the staff on Friday were absolutely horrible…read more When we booked the room in January they had an aarp discount, I booked it (hotel doesn't hold a cc or run it until you get wet there.) I was not given the discounted rate at check in. I was told they didn't have that rate and the website was updated. I didn't have the email saved to prove otherwise. My uncle had a screen shot of his discounted rate so they gave him his rate. We came in early, our room wasn't ready so they put us in a different room upstairs. We were in there for an hour and a half with the ac at 60 and it wouldn't cool down. The fridge wasn't plugged in and it takes 24 hours for it to get up to temp so we couldn't store milk in it. My family had rented 4-5 rooms total and the conference room so I put our cold stuff in the fridge in the conference room. I went downstairs and asked if I could get my dad's keys to make sure his ac was on and fridge plugged in. The ladies weren't friendly about it but gave me the key and let me know I was to bring it right back. A little bit later I went down to switch rooms as our ac obviously wasn't working and the lady seemed irritated about it. She went to talk to the younger lady who worked there and came back and let me know she didn't want to clean another room. I let her know I didn't want to stay in a room without ac. She finally gave me the keys for the other room, but the whole conversation was just absurd, no customer service skills at all. As we're switching rooms I can hear her being nice and laughing in cionvo to my husband, but all her interactions with me were just rude or cold. I let my family know to check that their acs work and fridges were plugged in but decided against telling them about the attitude figuring it was a one off off. My cousin's family gets in and asked to make sure they had a room with a good ac and the woman says "how am I supposed to know" with a bunch of attitude. My cousin sends us all a message about the rude lady. We felt lots of negativity Friday night and Saturday. They came in to replace the ac on Saturday after my complaint. The Saturday night lady was very friendly, but the others were not.

This is now the Bennett Spring Homestead Motel, not really sure when it changed hands. It says…read moreremodeled rooms, I'm thinking not all of them have been done yet. Ours was very outdated, but it was one of the cleanest motels we've stayed in. Did not have a microwave or hair dryer, but did have a mini fridge and stove, which for $69 was amazing. The room did have a musty smell when we first walked in, unfortunately it lingered for most of the night even after turning on the AC, and the water pressure in the shower was not good. If you're just looking for a clean place to sleep, this is definitely a great deal. We were there just to fish, so it was great for what we needed.

We rented two of the three Wolf Cabins for a weekend trip in January. We had the two larger cabins…read more(Wolf Pack Place and the Wolf Den). Both are warm and cozy, easily sleep 6-7 people (two bedrooms, plus pullout couches and plenty of extra space. Both have a fully-stocked kitchen (plenty of plates, cutlery and pots and pans). Wolf Pack Place includes a wood-burning stove and a hot tub (!!!). The rates are extremely reasonable for the amount of space and the beauty of the location. We went hiking in the woods, walked down to the lake (about .25 miles) down the hill, and relaxed in the cabins. Note: no TV, no wifi and cell phone coverage is non-existent. This is a GREAT spot to get away from it all. Approximately 2.5 hours southeast of Kansas City, so it's particularly great for an overnight or weekend trip.

We have rented these cabins two years in a row for Easter break. It is now officially a family…read moretradition! There are three cabins. Two are family size, and one is more of a couples retreat. All of them have a large fire pit area , hot tub, board games, and one of the larger ones had a wood stove to boot! They even supply wood!!!!! Grandkids love the board games , large area outback to play yard games and , of course, the hot tub! Easy set up to keep eye on the kids! It's very close to lake Pomme de Terre, where you can go fishing, boating, jet skis. I can not imagine doing Easter any other way! We've talked about taking a few weekend trips out here because we love it so much. We live three hours away and the drive out is beautiful in spring! The owners, Scott and Gina Wolf , super nice and easy to work with. I accidentally booked the wrong one and and he offered to swing by and open up the other one , no problem. We ended up staying in this one since it had the wood stove! What a hidden gem this place is!!

I completely forgot about pictures, my phone, Wi-fi, the city, stress and just lived in the moment!…read moreHowever when I was searching for a camping/float trip weekend pictures were scarce. So I told myself don't forget to get pictures of the mini store, playground, bathrooms, cabins, yurt, camping spots and so now all I can share are my memories. Which are pretty great! With this being my first visit, this is what I would do on my next: Even though I liked the yurt and it was comfy enough, I would probably add the cabin next to it for the adults. Just to be more comfortable, Yurts which are permanent tents, have room to sleep 5-6 with a fan and outlet. We brought our own fans too. The cabins do have AC units and a mini fridge but still no bathrooms. The community bathrooms have 2 showers and 2 toilets each, surprisingly their was never much of a wait. It is highly recommended that if your going to float the river which takes about 4 hours, Caplinger provides canoes and transportation for pick up and drop off, set out no later than 10am. We did a mini float (we had 4 kids under the age of 6), with our own raft and we parked a car down stream at the next bridge since we had 2 cars. Just for a heads up, the river flows fairly quickly so not much paddling needed. With our own raft we made sure to bring all our kids a life vest. It's as shallow as 3 inches to 10 ft in some spots before the damn is opened. After which it's just all flooded, moves even faster and much deeper. By 4pm even the campsites see a significant rise in water but still a good 200ft from the cabins all of which recedes before you wake up the next morning. Which also means lots of mud (let the reader understand). We just brought a sturdy stick to push away from protruding branches and rocks. A kid did jump out (because kids do that, well ours did) but we had an adult outside the raft walking/floating alongside just for such an event! Highly recommend booking in advance.

We have floated several times through Caplinger Woods and the owners and staff are fantastic…read more They're incredibly friendly and helpful and have a little store that stocks drinks, ice, fishing gear, or anything else you might need to camp or float. We live within easy driving distance so we haven't used the campgrounds but have been through the area to put boats in. The waterways are a beautiful area to float with lots of places to stop along the way. Highly recommend, you won't be sorry.
