This is our second stay at Arnott’s Lodge and we will definitely be back again! We appreciate the kind and helpful staff, all the amenities we need, and the location can’t be beat! We travel with kids and it is great for all ages. It would be a safe and comfortable for single travelers.

The Attendant at check in was very efficient and thorough in showing the common area and room. I thought the room was very clean and comfortable. It was quieter than I expected. Within a short walk to a nice rocky shoreline. It totally met our expectations as a budget accommodation choice

Our room had a coffee pot and filters but no coffee. No facial tissue. Limited seating other than beds. Staff was wonderful. Outdoor space had a lot to offer.

Super friendly staff. It's a no frills sort of place-but so homey and sweet. Our family suite was a great size. Working A/C and great to have a kitchen. No TV in the room, but we weren't there to be inside all day-the beach is where it's at. The beach that you can walk to was so perfect for my family. Really enjoyed our stay.

Mike was a great host and gave us easy ideas about entertaining kids. Also directions to find food and other services nearby. The place is like a dormitory, no frills, but everything you need for preparing you own food and getting a good nights rest. It’s an older lodge but everything was sparkling clean and well-maintained. I’d recommend it to friends.
