"This was such a great place to stay. Nicole and Nacho have done a wonderful job with this vintage building. Everything you need is available to you. The room was so wonderful and paid a lot of attention to detail and even though you’re in a small space, it doesn’t feel small. Also the breakfast bar is full of nice items and homemade goodies- nice way to start your day. Keurig and kettle in your room with assortment of coffees and teas. Honestly just pure joy in this room. Also the whole building was immaculate and is truly a gem."

"Can’t say enough good things. The location, cabin, amenities, the hosts…all incredible. We had magical moments…dock jumping, swimming, paddle boarding, watching stars and partial lunar eclipses. The cabin is in an amazing location on the water and super quiet. We were greeted almost daily by hawks, loons and eagles. Sublime! To find a pet friendly and quality location like this was a win. Our family of four and 2 dogs are restored and rested. Thank you for choosing us."
