The Island House Hotel was very nice, our room had a good view of the marina and lake. The room was cozy and the atmosphere charming. The staff was friendly and location just far enough away from the main town to avoid much of the noise but close enough to get to anything relatively quickly.

The hotel is in an ideal location. Close enough to downtown to easily walk but far enough away to be out of the crowds. The hotel staff is warm and welcoming and always willing to help. The front porch view cannot be beat and the restaurant served delicious food and drinks. The pool and spa were a nice touch after walking and biking the island. Highly recommend staying at Island House, especially in the fall!

Had a very nice room on the first floor. Lots of outdoor space to sit and see Harbor views. Bicycle rentals right outside the hotel. Maybe bike rentals could give discounts if staying at Island House as other hotels do. Staff very helpful. Breakfast dining with a view was wonderful

We stay here every autumn. And we love it ! Staff is amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful and clean and warm. When you want it to be and cold when you want it to be. There's a refrigerator in most every room with a microwave and coffee, and the rooms are beautifully painted and the sheets. The sheets you're going to want to take home with you.
