Very nice place to stay- keep in mind to call if checking in after 8 pm. Just common courtesy for these smaller hotels as they need sleep too. 🤗 5 min drive to the water side at Canoe

Our room was nice and clean, comfortable beds and decent bathroom. The kitchenette didn't have any dishes or supplies of any kind which made our takeout food hard to manage. Very affordable and picturesque, but bring your own supplies.
