I had a very nice stay at The Boathouse Lodge. The place was clean and my room was comfortable. There was a lot of parking available. I didn't meet the hosts, but they left a very detailed note about where my room was and about the continental breakfast of cereal and bread that I could help myself to in the kitchen. There were 2 fridges that you could put your food into and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. This location was close to the ferry, which was very convenient.
