I can't recommend Tricia and Doug's place enough. From the begining Tricia was very responsive to questions about the town, accomodations and even helped arrange transport.
I spent a week in Hopkins, getting to know the town and have to say Tipple Tree is the best! Tricia and Doug spend a lot of time making their beachfront your place of solitude and it shows. I had the most relaxing and wonderful time.
As hosts they found the perfect balance of helpful/engaging while also giving you your space to relax.
Can't recommend enough.
