It was exactly as described & the photos are up to date. Host & property manager were extremely helpful & easy to contact. Location afforded multiple opportunities for adventure & long meandering walks with the dog. Van Cleve Park directly across the street, is extensive & on the waterfront/ beach. Also took a couple of day hikes before our arrival & while staying at nearby Days River Natural Area. You will not be disappointed in this property. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e6163381-e35a-4a26-8db1-23cc4c887d94-1760224181200.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/95ab99ff-522d-4c3f-b06f-887eb98cf90b-1760224180743.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/da447d56-9109-4c0b-90d6-defc1ce85395-1760224182825.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kathryn G.
