It was a great room with cozy and comfortable beds. The view of the river from our balcony was absolutely lovely. I really enjoyed sitting by the river in the Adirondack chairs, drinking my morning coffee and watching the seals. I highly recommend this property!

Absolutely beautiful Inn. Our travel plans were mixed up, and we showed up early, and our room wasn't ready, but they did everything they could to get us in a room. Everyone we met there was so nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.
