Relaxing vacation
We had a very nice visit. Really enjoyed the swings by the river. Beautiful parks and waterfalls close by. It was very relaxing. I actually left prescription pain med in the drawer at checkout. They called as soon as it was found. Very nice and honest staff. Very dog friendly at the hotel and provided a list of many dog friendly businesses.

Great location and price
This was a last minute reservation. Price was great and location was amazing. Pro’s: beautiful beach area, right on the water, walking distance to everything, small and quaint place, shower was large. Con’s: mattress was way too hard for our liking, lights from outside shined into room. Overall, we loved staying here and would definitely stay again!!
