I stayed only one night, but the hotel was clean, safe, and well located. The room was clean and roomy and had USB plugs on both night tables. I went down for breakfast before it was officially open, but there was yogurt, fruit, and granola available, as well as coffee from a Keurig, so I was all set.
Very nice, clean property half block from in town bay shoreline.
Only issue was first day when we arrived, approximately 3pm, there was no employee on sight or non responsive to phone call (resort’s regular #), also emergency # was invalid.
We will book here for future accommodations.
We love Dawn! She is so helpful and kind! There lots of cool historical artifacts and pictures. Be aware that offseason there is only one restaurant. But the food was good.
This was a quaint, quiet place to stay. Rooms were clean. Very walkable to Ephraim. Nice breakfast in the reception area. Was very accommodating and would definitely go back.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Overall, we enjoyed our three-night stay as the property is one block from the shore and is short drive to the many little towns along the shore on both sides of the peninsula. The inn and area were very quiet though still busy traffic during daytime.
The welcome gift will be enjoyed by the wife. The main drawback is there is not a microwave in the room.
The stay was amazing!, the location was great for the things we wanted to do and the room was clean. Everything was either a short drive or a walk away which was perfect for the nice weather. Highly recommend this place and will be going back
The property was very clean, and the staff were responsive to our requests. Note to travelers that staff are not on site. When we arrived, the room key was not available as was listed in the email we received. They didn’t find our reservation until I told them it was through Expedia. They did, however, quickly rectified the situation. The continental breakfast is very basic but adequate. All that being said, the hotel is a good value for the money.
It’s under new ownership and they’ve done a really nice job. They also offer fresh bakery as an amenity. We didn’t have any but it smelled wonderful and we hope to try it next time we stay. Very nice place in a great location and a great value.
Two main concerns:
Pillows were so tall and so firm that it was impossible to sleep on them, so we folded a blanket and a bed cover to make a replacement.
And the toilet bowl was not clean, so we tried not to look too hard.
Also water wasn’t draining properly.
Besides that it was a good and a quiet location.
The room was clean and my minimal interactions with the staff (we had a late check-in) were great. The bed and pillow were very stiff and a bit hard to sleep on. Overall our 1-night stay was good with easy check-in and check-out.
Trent from front desk was very nice ,helpful and quick to help with every small issue we had .Updates and communication with the hotel staff were great and easy for us We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel , definitely we recommend that place
We just needed a place to sleep and this hotel hit the mark in terms of cleanliness and comfortable beds. Hotel is a bit bare bones and could use some sprucing up but given the price we were satisfied.
It was a quiet place Ephraim and a great time to come to the area. The hiking at the state parks was great. Hotel was clean and close to eateries just off the main road.
