We had a truly wonderful time here. The property offers gorgeous, scenic river views, and it was fascinating watching the submarine base activities right from the front porch. It is incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect, inspiring place to sit down and write.A huge bonus was the easy accessibility that made the visit completely stress-free for my mobility-challenged friend. We will definitely be back again!
