The staffs are very friendly. The room and the bathroom were clean. Unfortunately, it has no air-conditioned. However, the price of the room is very reasonable and the location is very close to ferry harbor.

It was a perfect location off the Trans Canada highway and just about a 15km drive from the ferry terminal. Sadly no restaurant. If looking for a place to stay after getting off the ferry or just because your unroute, this place is excellent, just eat before getting off the ferry. The owner is very friendly and prepared to go out of her way for her traveling customers.

Owners are wonderful, very nice place to stay. The only faults we could find are that the bed (mattress) is worn out and sags very noticeably and there is no air conditioning

This place was the perfect spot for our family to spend the night. Sadly during a heat wave lack of AC meant we were sweating buckets. The staff helped point us to a nearby swimming spot and mechanic for our vehicle. Charming and clean.

The property was close to an attraction that I was going to and so was very convenient. The owner was outgoing and friendly. The property was very clean and the owner (relatively recent purchase) explained her plan for improvements. Stayed 2 nights. Would return

Owners were amazing. I was exhausted and had a boat behind and we hadn’t eaten. No one would deliver so the owners daughter offered to go get us food and deliver it. Simply amazing , even provided plates. Beautiful spot to rest and relax after a hard days drive.
