Great value with a beautiful view

We had a clean, spacious room with two large beds and a beautiful river view outside our sliding doors in back. The sheets were crisp and the bathroom was very clean, with plenty of hot water for our showers. The restaurant across the parking lot served an excellent dinner. The inn’s gift shop is a great bonus! We will certainly stay here again.

We loved being on the river sitting outside. The changing of the tide was neat to watch with water going out and then the river filling back up again.

Beds, bedding and pillows were very comfortable love the location as it has a huge parking lot and a great restaurant right in the same parking lot. Sitting out front is right on the river and we actually got to see seals and the fish jumping and eagle come in to try to get the fish Great place for four wheeling.

The room was kept well with everything we could need for our stay. The bathroom looked like it was just remodeld, very pretty. The back had outdoor chairs to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the river. There was an excellent restaurant across the parking lot. We would recommend this Inn.
