    Very nice property. Staff was friendly. Breakfast delicious. Good social hour.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Adorable room, comfy bed. It’s an old building with creaky floors and thin walls, but it’s charming and conveniently located.

    Beautiful all around. Staff was incredibly kind especially Rita and Andras in the restaurant. We enjoyed so much, we plan to return again in the early fall.

    Based on what I understood from Expedia, breakfast was included but what I likely missed is that breakfast was served (but not included in price of stay). We didn't eat any meals. Staff was incredibly friendly, gave excellent dining suggestions, and offered seconds on the amazing cookies that were present in the room on arrival. Complimentary bicycles, lawn games were put to good use. Definitely staying at this property/inn again in the future.

    The lady at front desk (Jackie?) was very nice, fun and helped us in many ways. It’s an old building and that’s a part of experience. The only disappointment was the jet tab in our room. Probably not used much though looked clean, the hot water was brownish and a bit challenging to use it. Still we enjoyed our stay :)

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    you have about the area. Definitely add breakfast to your reservation.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Our room was clean and pretty, but no coffee maker, no fridge, and no TV. The floor was so far off level we were literally walking downhill to the bathroom. No continental breakfast, and the desk clerk wasn't sure when the restaurant opened on Sunday morning. Beautiful place, but not our thing.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We loved this place! The room was beautiful with a wonderful jet tub, comfortable bed and big windows towards the lake. Would have been nice to have a cappuccino option at breakfast since the coffee was pretty weak. The table top Skittles game in the lounge was great. We would stay here again!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Beautiful!!wish we had more time to spend there!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We have stayed at this property many times and the property was clean and staff friendly as usual. We were disappointed that breakfast was not included as it always was in the past. That was always a draw to the property so have to weigh in future

    They all had recommendations and wanted to hear about our day when we came back.
