The family-run Edelweiss motel, which looks more like a family home than a motel, is across the street from the town beach. Just out the door, you have restaurants, parks, a mini-golf course and playgrounds. A short walk will take you into the 150-year old town, where you will find almost anything you need. The comfortable rooms all have air conditioning and heat, private baths, cable TV, mini-fridges and queen or double beds. A delicious homemade breakfast can be served in your room. Stretch out and relax in a hammock on the deck or in the garden.
