"Beautiful place to stay and escape the fireworks with our dogs for 4th of July! The rooms are beautiful and not your typical hotel rooms. They have local photography on the walls instead of stupid hotel art, the bed is comfy with nice bedding, and they even provided a sheet for our dogs in case they got on the bed. The little beach by the river is so peaceful, and being able to see the river from your window? 10/10. The kitchen is awesome, and the gazebo with a grill? Genius! We felt right at...
