What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
It’s centered around the historic Captain Walker house, right on the edge of the compact town center, no more than a few minutes’ walk from anything else in town.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Dock Square and the village green sit a short walk away, while complimentary cruiser bikes reach the surf at Gooch's Beach in minutes.
The rooms
Custom white oak king beds pair with poured concrete accents, while select cabin suites add private patios and deep Japanese soaking tubs.
At the table
A morning continental spread of fresh berries, pastries, and granola is served on the covered porch overlooking the pine grove.
How it began
Built in the 1860s for sea captain Melville Walker, the historic house retains its original cupola alongside eleven newly built forest cabins.
