The staff is always accommodating and allows us to check in early year after year. The rooms are in excellent quality. They are very informative at the front desk about events, tours, shuttles, ferries. Always a pleasure to stay there.

I stayed in the lodge. The room was in good shape. The bathroom needed an update. A good feature is the water park.

We wanted convenience to ferry and affordable. The property was a cozy little village feel. Didn't like that we couldn't stay longer. Would have loved to try the cabins.

No signage to find the “lodge”
This is a ghost-hotel sub-brand in a log cabin park. There’s no signage out front.

SUCH a friendly and hard working staff but a tired property in need of repairs. While the room smelled of bleach, the overall cleanliness was not quite up to expectations
