This hotel is sooo cute and quirky. Full of personality. We absolutely loved our stay here! It had a great vibe. They offer lots of activities. During the evening you make friends around the fire pit. Short walk to the Main Street. The staff was friendly. We will definitely stay here again next year when we drop our son off at camp again.
