A lovely hotel with helpful staff and nice amenities. We enjoyed the hot tub and indoor pool upon arrival. We were early for our reservation but the staff was accommodating and let us use the facilities until our room was ready. We were checked in 3 hours early which was wonderful after a long morning of traveling. The staff continued to be of assistance throughout our stay. Every request was met with a smile and immediate action. The convenient location and beautiful views are well worth it. Sitting on the front porch was a highlight every morning and evening. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and look forward to making our stay at The Island House a summer tradition!
