Charming inn with an easy check in/out procedure. My room had a tilt to it from an uneven foundation so the bed alignment was a little difficult to get used to. Overall I liked the ambiance and antique decor. Breakfast was a little lacking.

The inn was lovely with a nice historic charm as expected. Self check-in was easy. The room was clean and had what we needed as well as the common kitchenette area, however leaving early we did not want to wake anyone so used it minimally. We were not aware that the restaurant and bar had closed and found ourselves at the deli for some pizza. Overall experience was nice and would return if we were in the area.

It was a old building but it was clean . had a small kitchenette which was very convenient for us. they had every thing you need for a Breakfast. i had not issues for a one night stay. beautiful lake near this stay.

We never saw a member of the staff, it was self check in and out. There was supposed to be breakfast included, nothing. Maybe during a different season? The building was built in 1832 and was very charming. The rooms were comfortable. Kind of off the beaten path and no restaurants or stores around.

This is a no-contact Inn with a phone number for the Innkeeper posted. Very nice room, but the latch on the bathroom door didn’t work so you had to place something against the door to keep it closed. The lamp bulb by the night stand was dead but we switched it with another one in the room. We appreciated the breakfast offerings, kitchenette, white noise machine, and reasonable price.
