Our amenities include complimentary locally roasted coffee, free wireless internet, two outdoor BBQ areas, and a propane fire pit to enhance your stay.As a non-smoking facility, we prioritize guest comfort with designated smoking areas and enforce a strict no-cannabis policy. For pet owners, we offer two dog-friendly cottages (under 25lbs, non-aggressive breeds) with a nominal pet fee. Our team ensures a seamless experience through 40-minute proximity to Portland, easy boat access with pull-through parking, and a remodeled environment that balances nostalgia with contemporary comforts like smart TVs and air conditioning.
