Beds, bedding and pillows were very comfortable love the location as it has a huge parking lot and a great restaurant right in the same parking lot. Sitting out front is right on the river and we actually got to see seals and the fish jumping and eagle come in to try to get the fish Great place for four wheeling.

We loved being on the river sitting outside. The changing of the tide was neat to watch with water going out and then the river filling back up again.
