We (4 adults) stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage for 1 night. It fit our needs perfectly & it was very convenient to have a restaurant on the property. The property managers were very friendly & accommodating.

The motel was sufficient but nothing outstanding. It had a restaurant on the property and therefore had no coffee station in the room. There was an excellent restaurant further down the road called the Rusty Anchor with views of the ocean,great food and friendly staff.

Great location! Friendly staff. Best water pressure in a shower ever! My only reason for 4 stars is the bed. Could have been a bit more comfortable, but still managed a great nights sleep!

The toilet seat was broken, there was used soap in the shower and the bed was really slumped in the middle. Beautiful view of the mountain fall leaves, and the food was good in the restaurant.
