Rich, Jan 2020

Pros. We stayed at Red Tussock for two nights in January, when the wind and rain rolled in. The motel was nice, friendly, and comfortable. Paul, the innkeeper, is a really cool guy, very warm and welcoming. We liked the walk along the lakeside to the central restaurant area, maybe 12-18 minutes. It was a nice walk home after dinner.

Cons. Less mobile guests might prefer to stay closer to restaurants. We didn't mind the walk!
