Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages
Loved everything about our stay! The staff was great! The room was perfect for us! The breakfast was worth the extra 15 dollars. They were very reasonable for the pet stay. It was only $ 50.00 for the whole 3 days. Lot of places over charge for pets and thats sad. Thank you!!! We will be back!!!
