The property is a beautifuly maintained inn with spacious, comfortable suites. The staff is very accommodating and friendly, and breakfast is delicious. The location can't be beat. Shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance, but the area around the inn is quiet. The waterfront harbor is also just a short walk away.

Parking was excellent and walked everywhere around town and on the Harbor Rail Trail. Short direct ride to Plum Island where we spent an entire afternoon on trails and to beaches. Loved the fall colors! Meals were excellent at FishSide, and Michael’s for Baked Haddock Friday Special. Just a short getaway but took our time coming and going to enjoy the autumn season.
Walking trail boat side around the harbor. Lovely walki!
