8/10 Good
"This was a comfortable and convenient place to stay while in town for our daughter’s swim meet. The property is right by the harbor and easy walking distance from many restaurants. The whole property could use a thorough remodel and update, but it wasn’t awful. Full sized beds are a bit small when both parents are 6 feet plus. My kids have full size beds in their bedrooms, so we felt pretty jammed in while sleeping. The front desk staff was always kind and very helpful, and breakfast in the morning was plentiful, though it would have been nice if we could have eaten in the main restaurant seating area instead of the back breakfast room."

"The room was clean. Bill and Lorna were fabulous hosts. Lorna pointed out the hiking trails, telling us about the views from each trail. She also recommended other places to visit like the Solomon Gulch Fish Hatchery. She also mentioned 2-3 restaurants that were open when we arrived. We chose an Italian restaurant. The food was delicious. The guest dryer didn’t work. Lorna took our wet clothes and dried them in her dryer. I would certainly stay here again."
