Amazing property
You drive on an unpaved road for quite a while to get to the Inn. Once you get there, there is the most beautiful place that looks like a large log cabin. It is right on the lake and there are trees everywhere. One of the most beautiful areas that I’ve been to. The room is huge and very comfortable. I also had a balcony that overlooked the lake. Perfect to sit with a glass of wine and stare at the sights.

Great stay!
The Retreat at Norwich Lake was terrific. Room was quite lovely with plush carpet and a comfortable bed. The retreat is right on Norwich lake. A short drive down a dirt road is required to reach the retreat. There was no TV in the room but that was not a problem as the retreat has WiFi coverage. Would definitely stay here again.

Stunning lodge
The Retreat at Norwich Lake is amazing. The site is unbelievably beautiful, it is situated right on the lake, and there are boats, canoes and hiking trails included in the cost, as well as horses on site which can be ridden for an additional fee. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the rooms are really comfortable with great views. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful cabin
It was just what we were looking for. A secluded beautiful cabin-type hotel where we could see the snow and play some board games near a fire. We had an awesome time, the staff was ver friendly and helpful. Will definitely be coming back for the fall.

I was there to get away for a night, perfect spot
The staff was wonderful, the lodge perfect. I was there to get away for a weekend. This is definitely the perfect spot. However when I saw various amenities I knew I would come back for less solitude. My children and grandchildren would love it, the lake, the canoes, the swimming, tennis, trails to hike. This is a perfect place for a family get together. The room I had was beautifully done, the balcony looking down the hill to the lake was magnificent, it was spotless and welcoming.

Awesome!
Spoke with Grace on the phone and she was very kind and helpful. A gentleman checked me out and he was very nice also. Room was great and comfortable. Wish I had arrived earlier to enjoy the rest of the property and the amazing views from the balcony of the lake. Can't wait to come stay again!

Nice cabin next to a lake.
This place is fantastic!!!beautiful views,quiet calm and peaceful.the pictures don't do this place justice.the only problem I had was in the description of the lakeside cabin it says there is wifi,mini fridge and ect,and there was not.not too big of a deal but it makes bringing juice/milk and snacks for kids more difficult.the beds could have been more comfortable,but it was fine.also if you have a problem with not being able to lock your door then this place isn't for you as there are no locks.with that being said I never once felt like our safety/security was at risk,as the staff is 5star.this place might be something my friends and family will use a coupple times a year.

Can I stay on the lake?
This place was amazing and unique. The scenery was beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful, everything was new and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable while the outdoors provided any necessary opportunities for activities. 1 of a kind stay in this area

away in the woods by a lake
A truly exceptional pleasure in the middle of nowhere. Peaceful and comfortable. Good for quiet reflection, long walks, or sitting around with family or friends. No amenities and the local area means a 15 to 20 minute drive, but hey, you stay here for the peacefulness of the lodge and sounds.
