In 1989 James and Norma Rice constructed a series of ground floor rooms adjacent to their home that they had built 22 years earlier. Creating an office and a second floor rental in their residence; they then began the R&R Motel. James has since passed, however, Norma remains your host while their eldest son Michael and his wife Laura carry the business into the future.
The R&R is known for providing comfortable rooms of unsurpassed cleanliness with friendly service at a value. All in a beautiful and relaxing setting.
