It isn't really an Inn. It's more of a Bed and Breakfast, if they included breakfast- which means we had a bedroom with connecting bathroom in a very nice home on Bigfort Bay. We enjoyed our stay. Cute area with good restaurants and art nearby.

Beautiful house with deck overlooking the bay. The town has a lot of cute shops and the nearby restaurant, Wine and Whisky, was excellent. Be sure that you're in touch with the owner in advance of your stay to learn the access codes for the keypads and also make note of the name of the room you've selected.

We loved the room and amenities! Soft thick towels, wonderful thick soft carpet, robes to wear to the hot tub, and a comfortable bed. The hosts went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. And the building is beautiful. The only suggestion is a better, more visible sign on the main street pointing down the alley to the parking.
