Editor's Pick

"A full outdoor kitchen with gas grills complements the pool, pedal boats, and kayaks provided at this motel. Guests also find horseshoes, cornhole, an on-site art gallery, and a fish cleaning station. Best for active travellers wanting outdoor fun, less so for those who prefer full-service resort amenities."
