This was a great place stay with views of the Black River and all the boats traveling on the river. Close to the downtown and the beaches. It’s a great place to come and relax. We saw some wonderful sunsets and some great waves crashing against the lighthouse.

Wonderful place to stay. Quaint, peaceful, and quite, which is exactly what we needed. Communication with the owner was fantastic. Walkable to downtown restaurants, shops, the beach, and the lighthouse. We really enjoyed sitting on the back deck/patio facing the river at the start and end our days there. It was a lovely retreat for my husband and I for a quick getaway from home. It felt exactly like a beach vacation but only a couple hours away instead of a full day's worth of travel. We'll definitely be back.
