This was a Fall babymoon getaway. We wanted a location that provided both views and direct access to the water. The Insel Haus provided a perfect getaway weekend and truly unique experience that exceeded our expectations. The charm and character of the Insel Haus, including its proprietors, added to our enjoyable experience. We brought our bikes along and enjoyed riding around this unique island. We definitely look forward to going back, perhaps during summer months where we could take advantage of kayaking and other water activities.

We vacationed on the island in the 1950's each summer. My two (2) sisters and I returned to visit the island after our 100 year old mother just passed away. Our host's Christa and Shelby were wonderful. They treated my very old yellow lab dog with unbelievable kindness and even upgraded our room so my dog "Charlie" could sleep with me. The home is beautiful and we definitely plan to return again. Thank you Shelby for your toast to us regarding our mom. We also met lots of old friends whom still reside on the island.
Excellent all around.
