“There's a definite charm to this historic property, nestled right on the water with genuinely breathtaking views that make waking up a pleasure. The simple, clean rooms and the throwback camp-style lodging create a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, amplified by the incredibly friendly staff and a sweet resident dog. It's the kind of place where you can truly disconnect, perhaps enjoying an outdoor shower with an ocean breeze, and feel a sense of stepping back in time.”
