Behzad, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
View from our balcony 🥰

Harbor Light across from bay with GORGEOUS view. Shared Great room offers full kitchen. Bonus bonfire pit for fire, which our host laid for us. All great, will return.
Theresa, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything was excellent, my only recommendation is it may be time to replace one of the mattresses. Highly recommend if you don’t want to be around a lot people and don’t mind driving to the shopping areas.
Moriah, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Sandra, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

I had a very peaceful stay and found the room cozy. All the other guests were extremely quiet and barely noticed that anyone else was staying there. The area is beautiful and would consider staying here again.
