It was a perfect location off the Trans Canada highway and just about a 15km drive from the ferry terminal. Sadly no restaurant. If looking for a place to stay after getting off the ferry or just because your unroute, this place is excellent, just eat before getting off the ferry. The owner is very friendly and prepared to go out of her way for her traveling customers.

This place was the perfect spot for our family to spend the night. Sadly during a heat wave lack of AC meant we were sweating buckets. The staff helped point us to a nearby swimming spot and mechanic for our vehicle. Charming and clean.

Clean room, checking in was a bit of a pain. I wish there were more blankets so I didnt have to turn up the heat and the water was not warm enough. Couldnt really have hot bath or hot shower, it was only warm. Otherwise very cute and clean. A family could easily stay in this room.

Great for an overnight. No local places to eat after 7 pm or before 9 am ( we were warned about this by motel staff so thank you for that). Difficult to find electrical outlets for charging multiple devices. The bathroom fan is really loud.
