Have noticed a couple of updates - adds a special touch to an already great stay! We live spending our girls weekend here - a great place to come back to and take a soak in the tub and relax in the comfortable bed! Also looks and smells clean! Friendly staff - from check-in to check-out! And we did see a young bear running away from the property on our last night - very exciting!

We had a 2nd floor room and the view was wonderful. We heard the waves crashing against the rocks all night, helped us sleep. Guests were friendly. Staff was great also. Quiet rooms, barely heard the traffic. Be preoared to disconnect from your phone & wi fi as it barely connected. Enjoy a getaway!
