Beautiful place to stay and escape the fireworks with our dogs for 4th of July! The rooms are beautiful and not your typical hotel rooms. They have local photography on the walls instead of stupid hotel art, the bed is comfy with nice bedding, and they even provided a sheet for our dogs in case they got on the bed. The little beach by the river is so peaceful, and being able to see the river from your window? 10/10. The kitchen is awesome, and the gazebo with a grill? Genius! We felt right at home!

What beautiful spot to spend the night as my husband and I were taking a roadtrip up north. The room was cozy and clean, with the sound of the river to fall asleep to. I woke up early, enjoyed my coffee on the balcony, and watched the wildlife wake up while the sun rose over the hills - including a bald eagle! We will absolutely be back in the future for another peaceful getaway.
