Beautiful location and the staff were great. The hotel itself, however, could really use a major update. If you’re feeling nostalgic for the 1980s, you may love the décor. Overall, the location and service were definite highlights, but the property feels quite dated.

Extremely helpful staff (especially Lynn at the front desk). The property was good, and we dont have any complaints for our room; the restaurant and it's staff were very good as well. Overall the place does need some maintenance and would do well to invest in modernizing the premises.

The room was clean and big. The staff was very nice. One guy was outside on his phone all the time. They need to clean up around the grounds. The pool should be heated so cold. Saw they filled the pool with a garden hose. Would be nice if they had a hot tub.

The Inn on the Lake is a beautiful place to relax and unwind. The staff are friendly and helpful, and we loved walking straight out of our room onto the pool deck to enjoy breakfast every morning. The in-room hot tub was a wonderful, much cleaner alternative to a public hot tub. We loved the old-world charm of the building, but the shower in the room should really be replaced; it was tiny, old, and the door frame was covered in some kind of weird blackish rust. I didn't love that we had to ask for housekeeping if we wanted any cleaning done at all (we were there for a week), or that the restaurant had no vegetarian options (the food was good -- just not much selection), and we had to drive into town to find a gym, but overall, we had a lovely stay.
