Very comfortable and well remodeled room. The location provides beautiful scenery and wildlife viewing. Tons of Osprey hunting along the river and Bald Eagle sightings. The cormorants were plentiful as well. Centrally located for day trips all over the area. I will absolutely stay here again.

We were able to park right in front of our room which was nice. The adjacent restaurant (not part of the inn) was excellent and very convenient. The river views are mesmerizing!

Absolutely beautiful Inn. Our travel plans were mixed up, and we showed up early, and our room wasn't ready, but they did everything they could to get us in a room. Everyone we met there was so nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

I really loved the location. It was central to all I wanted to do and see, and there were great local restaurants. What I didn’t like was that the cleaning staff for my room was subpar. Trash was emptied, thats it. No beds were remade or cleaning was done that was evident. When the bed was “remade”(one time)the covers were thrown over the bed and covered the pillows, a very hasty job to say the least. But all in all I did have a fantastic time.
