Waiting for this Diamond in the rough to find new life, finally the new owners have done that. So many thoughtful amenities...fish cleaning station, an outdoor grill/kitchen and picnic area for CYO meals, laundry on-site, rooms have been upgraded to make the most of your stay here. Such wonderful hospitality!!! There's horse shoe, cornhole, kayaks, and so much more...oh, lets not forget the pool! And so very furbaby friendly too! We will be back most definitely and cannot wait to see what more this special place holds! Congratulations Laura and Hubs! We hope to see y'all sooner than later! Surf's up and be 'Swell'! 😎

A great little place for a quick stay! The rooms are CLEAN and have been remodeled very nicely! The pool was also very clean and we loved the Swell Art Gallery on site and cute little gift shop. They had live music and 2 fire pits if you byo wood- something that we did which turned into a fun night meeting other guests. The staff were friendly as was Squeakers the cat. Cant beat this place for the value! We had a perfect little getaway here.

Room was nice except for the roaches. Killed 4 or 5 while I was there. Recommend deadbolts for the door. The only lock is on the doorknob.
