Lovely and quiet

Very quiet. While we saw other cars, we never heard other people. We said hello to one or two we passed coming or going, but that’s it. It rained the weekend we were there and we loved our room and the views while enjoying the rain. We even watched a good movie from the supply in the main kitchen/living room.

Timothy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the quietness of the area. Property was easy to find. Check in was easy. Room was roomy and just right. Bed was a bit soft and in need of replacement. Had a coffee maker and frig which was just the right size. Clean property and rooms. The office/common room had dishes, stove and microwave, etc if you wanted to cook food/meal. Would recommend and will stay there again. There is a small park just around the corner of the hotel if you want to sit by the water.
