Loved it!
What a great space! The view of the river was great, and we were able to walk down to enjoy the view close up. Great amenities, great location, and just overall an excellent stay! Would be perfect for a large group weekend but was perfect for a couples' weekend too!

Great Place for the Price and Area
My husband and I went here for our 10 year wedding anniversary. It is a great little spot! The owner was super helpful with our questions about bringing our boat. He didn’t hassle us about reducing our trip by a night because we had childcare issues. The place was clean and had all of the amenities that we could want. The only thing that we were wishing for were blinds or curtains in the main room. We decided to sleep in the main room on the futon mattress. That sunrise comes in BRIGHT in the morning! We will be back! Thank you!

This was a great place to stay if you like the water and large ships. This place was clean and extremely small town vibes. We loved it alot, large room to just relax in had everything we needed couldn't have asked for more.
