Stephanie and Dave were absolutely fabulous in giving us a tour of the property, making sure all of our needs were met and making sure we felt welcome. The Inn was nicely decorated, our bed super comfortable and the grounds were well looked after. They had just finished a new event space which looks lovely. We will 100 percent return and highly recommend staying here. There are also lots of things to do nearby.

Charming getaway and lovely hosts. Relaxing location. Amazing room. One negative, Their main property says adults only. But cottages also on property had kids. Love kids but was looking forward to a quiet place with no kids running around. The adults only reason was was why we selected it. And laid that fee. It was disappointing to experience the noise when we were just looking to relax.

Wonderful stay, beautiful property, and gracious hosts. Had an amazing time at the Inn as it's right by the water and is a recommended place to get away from the city and stay in this charming small town.

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy inn! The lake view from our room was breathtaking, and the serene, quiet atmosphere made it the perfect getaway. We loved the fire pit by the lake and enjoyed the delicious breakfast. Kayaking on the lake was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing escape!
