The property was clean and meticulously maintained. When it snowed, the service was there to shovel before we got out of bed. It's a quirky house, thanks to the age, but it's so cozy. And you cannot beat the location. We enjoyed it so much!

Incredible in every way. Ideal location, beautiful view and the perfect combination of historic charm and modern convenience. Gerard was available though we never needed a thing. The early check-in and late check-out gave us lots of time for strolling the waterfront and shops. We absolutely hope to be back!
