I only stayed here for one night but I loved it!! The bathroom is a little small and a place to hang a hand towel would be good. The view of the river in the back and the ability to just sit on the chairs and relax is fabulous!! 10/10 will be coming back!

The rooms are small but very well kept up. The bed was comfortable. When we opened the door in the bathroom it went out to a patio with chairs. It was easy to walk to the river. They setup a kid friendly movie after dark. served popcorn and cotton candy. I would definatly stay again.
