"This was our favorite stay for our whole trip!! Lots of parking, not lots of people, beautiful scenery, wonderful lounging area. We really enjoyed the benches looking out over the water. It was easy to find and there were books with suggestions of things to do and places to go, which was nice. I wish we could have stayed longer!!!"

8/10 Good
"The accommodation was quiet, private, and had a cozy, cabin-like feel. Having both a washer and dryer was a major plus, especially while traveling. The space is a little older and somewhat cluttered, which made it feel less fresh than some places we have stayed, though it may have been more about the age of the property than the actual cleanliness. The bedroom is upstairs while the bathroom is downstairs, so that is worth keeping in mind. Overall, it was a peaceful and private place to stay with some very useful amenities."
