Loved the cute cabin! Had everything we needed. Loved the assigned parking spot. Breakfast was typical fare, but it was nicely set out and clean. Wish we could have stayed longer because of the nice cabin. Came in fall and was hoping to drive through the island, but couldn’t find an entrance that wasn’t private property. But driving across the dam was pretty as well. Not sure what we could have done if we stayed longer.
