We were able to park right in front of our room which was nice. The adjacent restaurant (not part of the inn) was excellent and very convenient. The river views are mesmerizing!

Very comfortable and well remodeled room. The location provides beautiful scenery and wildlife viewing. Tons of Osprey hunting along the river and Bald Eagle sightings. The cormorants were plentiful as well. Centrally located for day trips all over the area. I will absolutely stay here again.

Absolutely beautiful Inn. Our travel plans were mixed up, and we showed up early, and our room wasn't ready, but they did everything they could to get us in a room. Everyone we met there was so nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.
