As of July 11, 2025, they have no sites available. I was told by text that their website is…read morecurrently under maintenance. Therefore, booking online, which shows plenty of open sites, is probably an exercise in futility. Prior to calling, I got through several online steps when I got their text, so didn't proceed further. Better to call and text for availability. I did both, and got an immediate response by text that they are full up. Also suggested they put a notice on their website about no availability. We also drove to the park yesterday to book in person, but the office was locked, no one there, which is why we called today.

After having been closed for years, the bait shop has re-opened under new management, with more…read moreemphasis on food service than either of the previous operators. They offer at different times, excellent breakfast burritos, burgers almost daily, enchiladas with beans and rice, accompanied with chips and very tasty salsa. Periodic specials appear randomly, such as chicken and dumplings, or chicken noodle soup, and most recently, Friday is fish day. Either a 2pc or a 4pc fried catfish dinner with fries, hush puppies, coleslaw, beans and rice offered as sides. I just enjoyed a 4 pc, and they do NOT skimp on the fish. I couldn't finish it, just too much food, but very good. To keep track of what they are doing, Facebook has they're page, Lake Sweetwater General Store, or the more popular group, Friends of Old Lake Sweetwater. They're posting regularly there to promote their business to us locals. As a Lake Sweetwater resident, it's nice to have this convenience, but if you're passing nearby, worth a look.

Easy to access from the highway, place is clean! Close to Abilene and Merkel. Easy to reserve.read more

When you are tired of spending upwards of $300 a week at the other main chain motels, you might…read morewant to drive a little bit back and save you some money, even lots of money. You can't miss this place, the unique items outside rendering it kind of like a Southwestern theme will make you wonder if you've driven past some museum or old country props. If you're lucky you'll get to meet Patty, one of two sisters that own this place. This is cabin type stay. The cabins are not large but quaint enough for you to enjoy your stay while not feeling a draft in your wallet. Each room is set up with a bbq pit in front (You have to move it 10 feet from the structure by regulation/law). I believe each cabin is equipped with a mini fridge, tv, bed, and towels. Sheets are changed once a week, usually on Thursdays. There are strict rules here and probably what you're not used to but if you want to remain in good standing and get that good price, then you will have to adhere rules that are posted throughout. When you leave to go to work, you must have your a/c off, tv and lights. This, of course, is to keep the electricity bill down passing the savings on to you and others. There are no visitors allowed unless you pay extra which is about $10 extra a day. You must have an out of town license to stay here and no in town visitors are allowed. Simple rules but understandable to maintain the quietness that is enjoyed by everybody here. Renting is usually given out a week at a time. With a good attitude, you might, just might get some of your money refunded "if" you happen to have to depart suddenly, that is something that NO OTHER MOTEL will usually do you for so mind the rules and your attitude and things will all be fine. There is free wifi here and it's posted on the doors. Nighttime is a little rough on the eyes because there is not a lot of light throughout but you're safe, there is almost no threat of danger here. Your nearest shopping and restaurants are in very close proximity. You can even walk to a few or take a 30-second drive and be just the same. I definitely will return here if I'm in the area simply because it's a neat experience than I've ever had than any other motel and one does not have to worry about doors slamming in the middle of the night and elevator doors dinging. Hope the pictures I was able to take can help you fathom how neat this place is.

Would like to see different kinds of things to add to my waffles, such as whipped cream,chocolate syrup, banana or strawberries. All in all the breakfast was good and there's lots of seating.
