This is my second stay at this charming, historic Inn. My fur babies love it here! Short walk to the main building, YH beach and Wiggly bridge. The hospitality is magnificent. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Stayed two nights in the room with the private deck. Bed was super comfy and the jacuzzi was massive. Everything was clean and operational, no complaints.

Gorgeous historic building with all the modern amenities. Two favorites were the jacuzzi tub and working fireplace. Short walk to the main inn building, waterfront and wiggly bridge. We've stayed in another building and will most certainly return.

What a great place to stay. We came with our dog and the staff was very kind to him and to us as well. When we came into the room, they had prepared two dog bowls and a bed for him. We have stayed with our dog while traveling at many places and this is by far the best. While the rooms are a bit pricier, they do not have a pet fee. The rooms are roomy and well kept. The common areas of the farmhouse are beautiful and inviting. We will definitely be returning!
