It was a charming resort. Most are individual cottages--some with a common wall. Easy parking. Very private and quiet. Very convenient with fridge, microwave and table with two chairs. Good Internet (no cell service). I'd stay here again.

It's a very old property but in working order. Very clean which is great! It's a 15 minute walk from downtown but easier to just drive. Parking was a big plus. Slightly expensive for what you get.
