A little bit of paint won’t hurt. I get it, it’s an old property but little details make a big difference. The noise cancellation is terrible and we had bad luck with our neighbors next door they were having a big party and we heard everything. If you love thriller movies like The Shining you’ll love the atmosphere inside of this room. We loved the scenic view around the property the trees, the sand. the wood trails, the beach is close and we got lucky finding a deer in our way.

I attended conferences here for 30 years but was shocked that they have let this property go down hill. The grounds are not maintained, the buildings need re-stained and windows sealed and painted and it appears nothing has been done in 30 years.

We had a great stay. Some of the rooms are older, but we felt like it added to the charm of a "camp" bunking experience. The whole experience was a vibe, and we will be going back again soon. Also, love that there are no TVs.

Employees seem like they don’t enjoy working there. No eye contact, no smiles, uninterested in pleasantries. I wasn’t informed there were breakfast vouchers with key, wasn’t told time for free breakfast, missed the first one and almost threw away vouchers not knowing what they were. Love the grounds, rooms are outdated but very clean.

Great location - older property but I have stayed there before so knew what to expect. Food has gotten pretty pricey in the dining room. Lots of lessons learned for our next trip. Overall good value.

I really enjoyed having the fireplace. The drape was partly falling. Needs electronic charging outlets. Having a phone in the room helps if I needed to call 911. Would have been nice to have a TV.

The hotel room has the most minimal amenities; bed, toilet and shower. There is no TV, no fridge, no safe box, no microwave and no coffee maker. Although I loved the rustic vibe, I’d still appreciate to keep my drinks cold. Unfortunately we will not be staying here again. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for an actual hotel room. Aside from that, the staff was amazing, the check in process was quick and the lobby was really nice. Also, the accessibility to the beach was great as well.
