This place was great! This was the first “inn” we’ve stayed! I liked the personal feel about it. The owners were really nice and accommodating. We also liked that there was a restaurant to the right and left of the inn. And we had a pretty lake view!

Great place to stay, right next to the lake and The Point restaurant. It was quiet, even though it’s on the highway. Bed was comfy, dvd selection was fun, and the bathroom was huge. Would stay again.

Sitting on the deck overlooking the lake first thing in the morning, with a cup of coffee as a deer walks by. What more needs to be said - besides, comfortable, clean, inviting. Great place to stay.
