Lake Shore Motel: Lake Side Lovely Location

Lake Shore Motel: Lake Side Lovely Location, Chamberlain

 Sagespot Says:  The hotel has a very nice view of the Missouri River with a cute little gazebo and chairs where you can sit in and watch the water activity. There is a trail a couple blocks north that goes along the edge of the river to a beach area - it's a very nice walk. Two blocks east...
