Very nice area and clean reasonable rooms.
No vineyard or views, it's a place that sells wine.
Room was clean and smelled clean, staff was friendly and helpful. There are some cute shops nearby and the water and dock across the street were handy. Very nice area as well.

The staff was nice and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable but there was a dampness that could have been better taken care of. We like that the Bayside is in town so we can walk to shop and eat.

Great location right across form the marina and walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and the ferry to Mac Island. We arrived super late after sailing across the lake and the staff made sure we could still check in even though their office was closed.
