March get away at Mariner Petite

My husband, I, and a couple of friends stayed at Mariner Petite for a late winter Up North getaway. Northport is a quiet and quaint destination. The house was everything as advertised. Very well appointed with comfortable beds. After a day of sightseeing, we enjoyed the hot tub under the stars. The hosts were very communicative. We hope to stay here again in the future.
