The property has charm! The bed was super comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! The owners went out of their way to make breakfast early for us so we could eat before we headed out on our kayak trip and we were so grateful for their willingness to accommodate us. We highly recommend staying here and hope to stay again in the future.
