We put having clean motel rooms at the top of our priority list at the Outdoorsman Motel. What makes a motel feel like your home away from home? For some, it’s the large-screen TV’s with full cable tv, for others it’s the large refrigerator and freezer to store groceries.
For many of us, what makes a motel stay feel like home is a clean place with the peace and quiet of getting a restful night’s sleep in a comfortable bed. At the Outdoorsman Motel, we understand that clean, quiet motel rooms and comfortable spaces are your top priority and we deliver on that and more. Our motto is “Spend The Night, Not A Fortune.” We hope you enjoy your stay at our motel.
