Our favorite place in town to stay for every reason you stay somewhere. Very nice management and staff. Clean, newer type rooms, quiet. Manager cooks fresh eggs like you want along with bacon. He makes the best waffles! Along with many other food choices including fresh fruit. Wanted extra pillows, they were at the door in 5 minutes. This was our second time staying here and look forward to next year.

What a view!

We stayed in a room in back with an amazing view of the water. They have a beautiful deck closer amd plenty of BBQ's. My only complaint is that people were talking loudly outside pretty late, but ill let them have it, since its an environment that really fosters conversation between strangers

Our room had a very strong musty mold smell. Had to keep the window open. Bed was comfy. Location was good. Breakfast was made 7-9 that was nice. Needs updated. The back is nice on the creek. Would ask for those rooms.
