All the above. We had a cute little cabin but the microwave kept tripping the breaker. The staff apologized and moved us to another and it was an upgrade. We were happy with the original but this was a great surprise.

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.
