Warm and caring staff!
Very warm reception when we arrived late at night. I had an early morning surgery scheduled at the hospital across the street. We got a late checkout time for my spouse and then they invited my spouse to relax in the library for the afternoon with refreshments and snacks. Very hospitable and caring!

Amazing
Amazing as usual, It is our staycation away from home (we live 20 min away). A charming place for a couple’s night away if you like a quiet cozy night by the fireplace . Rooms were in perfect clean condition and our room had a partial view of the harbor. Highly recommend!

The room was noisy. The heat clunked off and on all night, could hear the late shower in the next room, as well as the conversation of people passing our room.

Would have been a 5 star rating but the ac/heater unit in our room was so loud it kept us up most of the night.

Classic Cape
Came here for a birthday getaway for the night. It was perfect! Small owner feel, beautiful, unique such a nice change from the cookie cutter hotels you find everywhere. The jetted tub was massive and such a great way to relax! The bed and pillows were comfortable and it was hard to get up the next morning. I can't wait to come back for a long weekend to enjoy all the amenities. The service at the front desk for top notch. This is a gem for sure!

Great place to stay.
Loved the property. It was right on the harbor which we enjoyed. We also enjoyed the fire pit on the chilly night. The room was clean and comfortable, the bed was too. We loved staying here and would definitely stay again
