Located one block from the Star Line Ferry dock, easy walking distance from downtown shopping and historical sites. Enjoyed the view from the front porch, and the warmth of the fireplace during our visit in the fall. Highly recommend a meal in the 1852 Grill Room.

We loved our beautiful room! Also, didn't realize there was a hot tub there until we checked in, and it was wonderful, especially on the rainy and cold day we had. Very clean, both the hot tub and the room. Definitely would like to stay there again!
