Cherry Tree Inn and Suites
Panoramic water views please from every angle of the Cherry Tree Inn and Suites. Although the beauty of nature surrounds this smoke-free establishment, it may not be best suited for outdoor enthusiasts as some sports gear, namely bicycles, skis, snowboards and golf clubs, are not allowed in the rooms. The hotel's active-lifestyle packages--like a snowshoeing or snowmobiling getaway--may compensate for the equipment storage shortcomings.
