This was the perfect place for us to stay! We appreciated being able to have a long weekend vacation to stay with our dogs at a time the colors are optimal. It was very easy to travel around the North Shore both north and south. The amenities were great and make it a nice place to stay year round. We hope to be able to stay again!
