Although it was 1/2 hour away from South Baymouth Terminal, it was certainly worth the drive. The location, while remote, was on highway 6 and only a 12 minute drive to Ten Mile Point where there was an amazing view and the items in the trading post were authentic and reasonably priced. Our room was spotless and spacious. I wish we could have stayed longer.
