"Many years ago one man dreamt of building a magnificent summer hotel that would overlook the sparkling waters and sun-bleached shores of his beloved area. Today this hotel still proudly stands as the sentinel it has been for over eighty years. An interesting mixture of people spent their summers here. They came by steamship or sailing vessel for back then this was the only way to travel.

Evening cruises, a little fishing and an afternoon swim before dinner were some of the memorable experiences people shared together. Today one can still feel a sense of excitement maybe even a little romance in the night air from this bygone era."
