Fantastic view! Nice balcony with chairs and small table. Comfortable bed and clean bathroom. Quick easy check in/out with friendly staff! Drive way to parking lot is steep and narrow. Breakfast was weak coffee and packaged muffins, so disappointing for this price level.

Great location on the lake!
The room was very comfortable with a great view of the lake. The location was perfect. We were able to bike to town in the mornings and use my kayak during the day. We enjoyed visiting the tiki bar and playing cornhole. We are already looking forward to our next trip to the Anchor Inn and Marina!

We brought our two dogs. Room was great..kept them off the beds. Built on a hill so potty breaks were tricky. One small level grass patch, but we had a great time. Took the dogs down to the Tiki bar at night. Clean rooms and great view!

We did not receive any housecleaning service over the course of 3 nights, even though they said they were coming after the second night. There was an extra charge for 4 people in our room, even though we had a room with two beds. Can't check in after 8:00pm. Extremely steep hill to parking. Tiki bar is great.
