I know it's not super popular, but I like the place. My wife and I have stayed there many times the night before going in, and the night coming out. I've also stayed there the night before solos on several occasions.

I tried calling and got the Verizon autobot message that "your call cannot be completed as dialed." Is it closed? I know it's been for sale for a while...owner once asked me if I wanted to buy it!

Anybody know?

Mike

I don't have an answer for you, maybe Chamber of Commerce.

New owners. I think you can find them on vrbo. I don’t know if it’s still called Lakeland Motel though.

It's now called Uniqu-Ely (I may have the spelling wrong but you see the pun they are striving for). And they are listing under VRBO. Let us know if you stay and report back!

Hey Tim! I do disappear into just living up here at times but we did a trip a couple weeks ago going in LIS North and I had some questions and posted etc and got engaged again. Hope you are well!

I can't find it on VRBO. In fact, VRBO won't even allow me to enter "Uniqu-Ely" in the search bar and instead sends me to "Urique, Chihuahua, Mexico."

Oh well...I'll see what the deal is when I'm up there...staying at another place.

Mike…does vbro have an option to search by area/map?

They are easiest to find with the map view. I think since they need a unique name for each unit basic searches on the other names don't produce results. You can filter on property type of cottage and that will also isolate their offerings.

It's easier to find on Air BNB, because you don't have to put the dates in first. Here it is. It's kind of tricky, because they have each room set up as a different unique unit.

On VRBO, properties 2486894 and 2486910
On Air BnB, properties 51804959 and 51804588

Thanks everybody. I did use the map feature and found the place. Man has it changed! What was the owner's house is now a fully rentable house. Also, two of the four cabins can be rented for $99 a night.

one of the cabins refurbished

the other cabin refurbished

We stayed at the Lakeland Inn many many times in the past. I think I'm going to ultimately stay at the Paddle Inn. I want to buy a couple of items on Sunday and freeze them overnight. Paddle Inn has that capability.

I stayed there in May, booking through AirBnB.

It was a nice place. Comfortable. Clean. Basically what you want before a trip.
