The night sky
You'll see the Milky Way on clear, moonless nights, with a little glow low on the horizon.

ADs say PRIVATE BEACH but there is no beach whatsoever, just a dock.
A real beach
It was clean, location was beautiful the owner was kind
The breakfast quality wasn't very good for a bed and breakfast
Room was comfortable but the website is not accurate description of what the facility is actually li
Comfortable room
Had 42 steps to get to pier from room not at all what was described on website Owner threw out our $70 worth of purchased food while out for the day because we left prior to breakfast. Also scolded us for missing breakfast. They need to describe the terrain better in case someone that has issues with stairs is aware prior ro coming, after walking down the stairs, you have to cross a street to the pier. There is no beach area and the swimming area is covered in large slimy rocks. Again not as described.
Want to find a reason to go back.
We stayed in the Sunset Suite with a wonderful view of the lake from our balcony! I did not want to leave it. Bed comfortable, loveseat seating, games, suitcase racks, table for breakfast, bathroom with 2 sinks and long counter, shower/tub combo and sumptuous breakfast delivered to our room. Coffee was great!
The view was gorgeous! Amenities awesome! There were some many special little details at this place where the hosts went above what was necessary! Rooms top notch clean and hosts were so friendly and kind. We've stayed at a lot of B&B but this was one of the best!
Stunning view, amazing breakfast and wonderful hosts! Will stay again! Highly recommend!

Snowiest December to February (about 30 in a month), when the hot tub shines.
In August: highs around 81°F, lows near 54°F, rain or snow on about 6 days. Pack light clothes, plus a layer for the evenings; a light rain jacket won't hurt.
