This helps our housekeeping staff prepare for our next guests.

How about smoking and fires?

No smoking or candles in the buildings. Also, there are no fireplaces or wood stoves. There is a very small propane table grill, please ask.

Can you go swimming?

Usually, the locals answer this question with a laconic “why?” The water is cold with currents up to 15 knots with a 20’ tide change twice a day. There are many accessible beaches, perfect for fine views, picking up sea glass and general beach combing. A 5 minute walk [1/2 mile] down the road there is access to a beautiful, horseshoe shaped ,mile long, sand beach. PS. In the summer, the locals go inland to swim at their lake camps, “goin’ upta’ camp”.
