The left me outside

They never let me through the front door. After spending 30 minutes at the front door talking to someone on their "red phone" i finally gave up. They have nobody on site to assist so if there are any issues, you are at the mercy of the mystery person on the phone. That peron in my case was incompetent and rude. You have other choices of places to stay, i suggest doing so.

First stay

The place was extremely clean and sanitary. Thats honestly my biggest requirement. It was easy check by calling a 24 hour receptionist and they text you your room and code to get in. Lots of cool decor (bed was sitting on a boat trailer, etc) and THE VIEW was amazing. I spotted a lot of birds and even an Otter floating by.

We did not realize we were staying in a house and renting a bedroom. The view of the river was not as described. You could hear everything in the next room as the walls were paper thin. The experience was very eerie and felt uncomfortable.

Odd Check in, but worth it!

Stopped here while on business trip. I was a bit confused and frustrated by the check in process. However, they were very polite and professional keeping me from overreacting. Great customer service goes a really long way and they score high there. Next time, i will stay for pleasure:-)

Booked through Expedia, and all communications sent to me through Expedia about check in and other info. No mention of needing to call the inn and provide my credit card for a deposit. Received a call from someone who was very uncertain and asking for my credit card number which felt like a scam. Refused. Still no msg on Expedia about needing to provide further information to get code to check in. Called the number provided on Expedia and got the same story so provided my credit card number. Other than that everything was easy.
