For the price, it is a great place to stay at. The room was clean, TV was small but good enough. We have to share the bathroom/shower with the other people in the house but we love the half bath powder room (just sink and toilet) in our own bedroom. Would stay again.

Its rustic feel is authentic with the cove, as warm & welcoming as the locals. Few cricks & cracks in the night but is customary with an old building, can catch a nice view just over the trees in the morning on the left side of the building.

Remote but comfortable

Our stay was completely self-service, which worked out fine for us. There were supplies provided which allowed us to prepare a breakfast of french toast. Room privacy was fine, but walls pretty thin. A good stay, overall.

The property was clean and pretty much what you would expect. It was close to the ferry which we were going to take to the island where we were booked for whale watching the next day. Only draw back is there are no close ammenities to eat, buy grocery, etc, so take what you need in food, etc.

The property info said private bath and shower, however, the shower was shared. The included continental bfast was just cereal and toast. You make everything yourself. Again, not mentioned in the info. We skipped it as we didn't have time to make a pot of coffee. Staff was super nice and helpful though.

The property is not kept up well. We had “family” room. It was the basement, it smelled gross musty, damp stink. Beds were a wore out futon and a crappy double bed that was not Comfortable. We will not go back and we would not recommend this to anyone.

We checked in the room, and checked out of the room. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and behind the door. The baseboard heaters were rusty and full of dust. There were plastic wrappers under the bed and a white substance on the bedside table. The windowsills were full of black dirt (or mold). A picnic table outside was literally falling apart. The lady at the reception desk was very understanding and refunded our money.

We only stayed one night and arrived close to 6pm so very limited interaction, but Crystal was lovely and had a great information packet ready with our keys. I tried to access a walking path to the beach it it was overgrown and hard to find. Our rooms had no AC or even a fan so although it wasn’t hot the room was stuffy. Nice breakfast array of cereal, milk, coffee and eggs we were welcome to prepare whenever we wanted . Much of the furniture and fixtures in kitchen and bathrooms is dated but clean and functional. Campground seemed busy. 30 minutes drive to any other food and they close early 7pm so plan ahead! Would stay here again with more time to explore.
