Perfect little stay over hotel for short term. Clean, quiet with a relaxing outdoor setting. Large Adirondack chairs at the water to sit and rest. Outdoor patio to enjoy a meal from their on site restaurant. Special requests for dinner are addressed with care and staff welcome you like family! Very nice place to stay if you are just passing through.
