Excellent place for a quick girls weekend! Everything was as advertised in pictures. Ample off street parking, easy access to the property with lock box, the place was clean, beds were comfortable enough. Balcony for a quiet start to the morning and the hot tub at night were what really made the place.The establishments right in town were super convenient but it is also worth it to take the short drive to Alma, many cute businesses.

Fall fun

Great spot to stay right on the river to see the fall colors. It was fun watching the train go by and amazing that there was 0 train noise or vibration inside this sturdy building. Loved all the activities available in the area including apple orchard, river cruise, side by side adventure etc….
