We liked this Inn very much because it is very dog friendly, the only suggestion I have to update the breakfast room. The restaurant especially outside seating and the bar area is very nice also it is very convenient to rent a boat. There are many parks around however you ned to drive to them.Do not forget to the town itself because it has restaurants and a great ice cream place.

Property is fine and the view from our room was also great. Only problem we had was the maid service, which was basically non-existent. Somebody came the first day and emptied the trash, cleaned the coffee pot and refilled our coffee supplies. We were there for 4 days and had to go to the front desk every day after the 1st to get new towels, coffee supplies and TP. Our bed was never made up once.
