Cottage Inn

Originally built in 1938, these wood-shingled cottages feature pine walls and stone fireplaces—but the bathrooms are modern, some with Jacuzzi tubs. The quiet, picturesque property boasts access to a lovely private beach, and a grassy courtyard with a gigantic checkers board and Adirondack chairs for lounging beneath the pine trees. The lodge offers a complimentary country breakfast in the morning, wine and snacks in the afternoon and free Wi-Fi all day long. The place aims for a quiet, romantic vibe, and children younger than 12 are not allowed.
