We had a wedding in the area. The wedding started at the same time as check in. This establishment let a group of us have early check in to help not scheduling difficulty. It was very much appreciated and shows good customer service. Plus the place was quaint and safe:)

Quiet Gem on the Bay

Such an amazing place to stay. Great food & drinks. Jessie at the bar was so friendly, Thomas was a delight at check in and really made feel welcome. The views from the top deck are beautiful and the space is so relaxing. I definitely will be back.

This was a lovely one day stay. Note that you’re paying to stay in a historic tavern with a nice view and semi-private beach. There isn’t a lot to say (good or bad) about the room or the service. Everything was fine. We’d consider coming back.

We stayed one night while visiting the beach, and it gave us exactly what we needed. The beds were soft, the room and bathroom were clean, and the room was cool the moment we stepped in, which was necessary after being on the hot beach all day. The restaurant's food was delicious, and it was great to be able to eat and then go right back up to the room to rest. We'll definitely be back next year.

The location of the Tavern is great! There are plenty of restaurants and locations for entertainment without going over the bridge. Owner is friendly and staff is also friendly to chat with. For a locally owned business, they are doing a great job supplying multiple perks for a fair cost!

This hotel is really unique. The Inn was built in the 1880’s and makes you feel like you’re stepping back in time. It’s in a beautiful location right on the bay with breathtaking views. The owner, Sam, took great care of us including getting up early to make cappuccino on the front porch and share stories about the buildings use during prohibition to smuggle illegal booz into the county.
