"The Inn is a lovely property in a central location. Initially, we were given a room on the ground floor which had a strong smell, the owners upgraded us to a room one floor up. The owners are lovely, live offsite and respond quickly when called. The shower is lovely, great water pressure; ample towels. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms are very clean and well maintained. The rooms are cozy, 80’s decor. Pride of ownership is evident."
"The receptionist at check-in was terrible. I said hi three times and she never responded. She didn’t smile or seem friendly at all. While my friend was filling out the check-in paperwork, I said that I wanted to check in as well, and she replied, “I’m doing one right now,” in a very rude tone. Those were the first words she said to me.
I do have to say that the property manager was very nice. He made the fire for us, was helpful, and treated us kindly throughout our stay.
However, my first impression because of the receptionist was terrible. I honestly don’t remember ever being treated with such disrespect and lack of kindness while receiving service during a vacation.
Also, the reservation was not clear that I would receive a bedroom instead of a dome. My expectation was that I had reserved a dome, since that is what was shown on Hotels.com, but when I arrived on site, I was given a bedroom instead.
Plus, the hot tub that was advertised was not like the pictures at all. It was not placed with a view as expected, and it was just a small inflatable tub that could barely fit one person at a time."
"The property was beautiful with pretty gardens. The room was a good size, and I had a great view of the grounds and the lake. The staff in the restaurant were attentive and service was prompt. Would stay here again for sure!"
"It was so so beautiful - not much around you which is amazing, but also prepare to have food etc with you. Vince was amazing, the view was gorgeous, I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique stay:)"
