I loved this place!! It was so charming and comfortable and clean. Marilynn was so helpful and responded to my questions very quickly. There was everything I needed to enjoy my 2 day get away and the peace and quiet was very welcome. The restaurant is just a few steps away that serves fantastic fish. I must add that I loved the shower!!
