"Warning, do not rent a room here. Stay away. This place is full of false advertising. They have an extra hidden fee that they don’t show online that they force you to pay when you rent a room here. Second of all they advertise that they have smoke free rooms, which they don’t. I booked a smoke free room and was given a smoking room. When I complained at the desk , the employee worker became super aggressive and started threatening me, and was yelling at me. This is the worst place I have ever...

"We loved being right on the water and watching the bardges go by. The bed wasn't the most comfortable and 1 of the TV's didn't work. But having a kitchenette meant we could make our breakfasts and snadwiches before going for hikes. We've already talked about staying again, but maybe a different cottage. "
