Really rough accommodations, the front door didn’t even close all of the way. We were woken up at 1:00 am by a fight in the bar next door, with one of the people yelling that he was going to go grab his gun. Would not recommend staying here unless the price is very low.

Gwinn's is great fun and the chowder in the roadhouse is amazing! If you are looking for luxury, Gwinn's isn't the place for you, but if you're looking for functional, clean accommodation with rustic charm, you'll love it.

Quiet & beautiful location. Individual log cabin with modern electric, walk-in shower, & kitchenette. Convenient on site cafe, a bait shop & a gift store. All the food was great, but the Chicken fried steak & the biscuits w/sausage gravy were fantastic. Will here stay again!
