Fantastic place to stay. We will definitely be back again. Room was clean & comfortable. Had just about everything you would need for your stay right there in the room. The common area with kitchen was fantastic if coming back from fishing late. Only missed a pizza pan but we improvised. Eric the inn keeper was super friendly and helpful! Being right across the street from the launch was great!

I really loved the quiet area, the easy parking, the quick response when i asked where the garbage bags were, the spacious feeling rooms. I didn't love the dark long hairs all over the bathroom floor and the bathroom floor was sticky.... the well-worn mattresses and flat pillows had my husband and i both tossing and turning all night. The yard and outdoor areas were very pretty and a lot of effort put into that. The view from our window was really pretty too. It was just fine for our family but the dirty bathroom was the part that really bothered me.

For the money, this was EXACTLY what we wanted. The place is very quiet, super cute!!! and has a nice view. 110% would stay here again without a 2nd thought. We travel a lot and this was as good as it gets for our expectations.

Lovely and quiet

Very quiet. While we saw other cars, we never heard other people. We said hello to one or two we passed coming or going, but that’s it. It rained the weekend we were there and we loved our room and the views while enjoying the rain. We even watched a good movie from the supply in the main kitchen/living room.

Love the quietness of the area. Property was easy to find. Check in was easy. Room was roomy and just right. Bed was a bit soft and in need of replacement. Had a coffee maker and frig which was just the right size. Clean property and rooms. The office/common room had dishes, stove and microwave, etc if you wanted to cook food/meal. Would recommend and will stay there again. There is a small park just around the corner of the hotel if you want to sit by the water.
