Beautiful from the outside but the rooms were in a separate, concrete bldg (not the wooden 19th century bldg). Rooms were super small with 2 small twin beds. Felt cramped. Very few amenities (no shampoo, conditioner, lotion).

The boat ride was incredible, esp coming home and seeing the sunset. The staff at the restaurant was incredible, everyone so friendly and they all came out to see us off when the ferry departed.

So fun! Lars was a great guide - the boat was comfortable and he made sure we all wore giant coveralls to keep us warm! Beautiful scenery.
