No cookie cutter here! Cozy and Super Spotless
If you want to stay in a Cozy, spotless room with such fine attention to detail look no further! This family owned business looks at all details big and small to make you feel comfortable and Taken care of. I always sleep soundly. The retro furnishings, vintage lighting and small touches make each room unique and special. The owners are on site and personally make sure you are taken care of! I’ve stayed in a lot of the waterfront hotels and this one of my top 3 places!

Cute little room!!
We stayed 3 nights for a family holiday. Room was very cute. Probably should’ve looked at the bathroom picks (clear glass shower instead of a curtain and we had our children with us , lol).
