Reviewed Dec 7, 2025This was a luxurious spot with gorgeous views. All of the furniture was comfortable, the lighting was soft, the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. The breakfast was so fresh and nourishing and in such a beautiful, spacious dining area. We had a very peaceful and relaxing time here.
It felt wonderful to have the doors and windows open to let the breeze in or hear the rain but there were no screen doors so we couldn't keep them open for long. Other than that, this place was perfect.

Reviewed Feb 18, 2025This was like a five star hotel with an even better view!! Such a lovely property! Tom and Jo were wonderful hosts! Tom even made dinner reservations both nights for us at awesome restaurants nearby. The rooms are beautifully appointed with great bed linens and wonderful large, fluffy bath towels. The view from the room was of Cook’s Bay and it was stunning! We were treated to freshly cooked breakfast each morning where we had the opportunity to meet other fellow travelers. We would highly recommend Mercury Ridge ti anyone traveling in the area. It is a gem for sure!
