Not an Inn, it’s an AirBnB
It is a wonderful location but unfortunately it is not an inn, it is an AirBnB / motel setting. The property is a converted house where each bedroom has its own access code. We were looking forward to staying at an inn and this our lower rating. The property itself is great, the communication and support was exceptional.

First it is not an Inn! It is a house with 6 rooms. We stayed
in 1 of the lower level lake front rooms. I would recommend
not even trying to park in the lower level 2 parking spots.
Find a spot at street level. I entered the driveway to go down and could only see sky and trees, then drop down a VERY steep driveway and need to angle left to park in the designated spot. Getting luggage across the steep driveway and then down the stairs was difficult.
The room felt cramped and crowded with 2 people in it
We planned to stay 2 nights but got up left after the first
night even those we were charged for 2 nights.

I love all the little extras that made the place special. We were lucky with the weather and were able to kayak around the harbor. The parking was tricky, but we had plenty of warning and instruction ahead of time. Beware of the steep driveway to reach the entrance. Definitely not accessible by all.

Beautiful and relaxing
Beautiful, clean and has everything we needed. Too bad we only stayed one night. Patsy was very helpful and quick to respond to our questions. You know that owners put a lot of effort in making guest feel comfortable. Has its own dock that you can hang out and relax. Definitely one of the bst places we’ve stayed at in our travels.

Very nice and clean place. You can see that the owners take a lot of pride with their establishment. All the furnishings are clean and new. The kayaks and paddle boards were a big plus along with the huge deck on the harbor

The idealic location with a view of the harbor was beautiful and the room and bed were outstanding. The contactless checkin was flawless and the serenity sitting on the dock was great way to end our west coast vacation. We were lucky enough to get a street level parking space as the steepness for other spaces and getting to the entry could be challenging for some. Highly recommended.
