The Outlook Inn was quaint and located close to the downtown area, but far enough away that it was quiet. The delicious breakfasts varied each morning and were cooked and served to each guest. The staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay enjoyable!

This property is even better than advertised. The room was clean and looked newly renovated. The upstairs breakfast area was charming and the outdoor seating area was perfect to sit and view the wharf. Serena gave us a warm welcome and all information needed to make our stay go smoothly.

The Outlook Inn exceeded our expectations! While earlier ratings were positive, we did not anticipate the wonderful hospitality of the staff or immaculate cleanliness of the updated property. 1) a wonderfully convenient location; 2) nicely sized rooms; 3) Lovely breakfast specials each day, but with ability to customize. We will return and highly recommend, but if you are seeking opulence or uber amenities of a chain hotel, this is not it. If you want a quiet and lovely and well located independent accommodation, it is.
