Lovely stay!

We stayed in the Dodge Cottage, Katherine X suite and it was lovely! Very nicely furnished with kitchenette. Very quiet, too. Bathroom amenities were nice, but bathroom could use a little updating. Linens were nice, beds were quite firm. Staff was SO friendly and we loved spending time at the main 1661 Resort building. Thebreakfast was outstanding also!

We had such a lovely stay here. They had upgraded rooms available, and upgraded us without even asking. Wilber helped us out in many ways, sharing great information about dining options and things to do. He was extra accommodating which made our stay fantastic. I would definitely stay here again, especially during the off season! It was a nice, quiet getaway.
