we checked in around 9 pm and was dark out. no staff at the location . felt little spooky at the beginning, called the Inn Keeper and she explained about the building. It was a old building but it was clean . had a small kitchenette which was very convenient for us. they had every thing you need for a Breakfast. i had not issues for a one night stay. beautiful lake near this stay.

Charming inn with an easy check in/out procedure. My room had a tilt to it from an uneven foundation so the bed alignment was a little difficult to get used to. Overall I liked the ambiance and antique decor. Breakfast was a little lacking.

We never saw a member of the staff, it was self check in and out. There was supposed to be breakfast included, nothing. Maybe during a different season? The building was built in 1832 and was very charming. The rooms were comfortable. Kind of off the beaten path and no restaurants or stores around.

This is a no-contact Inn with a phone number for the Innkeeper posted. Very nice room, but the latch on the bathroom door didn’t work so you had to place something against the door to keep it closed. The lamp bulb by the night stand was dead but we switched it with another one in the room. We appreciated the breakfast offerings, kitchenette, white noise machine, and reasonable price.

The inn was lovely with a nice historic charm as expected. Self check-in was easy. The room was clean and had what we needed as well as the common kitchenette area, however leaving early we did not want to wake anyone so used it minimally. We were not aware that the restaurant and bar had closed and found ourselves at the deli for some pizza. Overall experience was nice and would return if we were in the area.

Avoid the downstairs room.
Well it started out OK. The wall-to-wall carpeting in my room was very dirty. Thn an area rug is placed on top which is a tripping hazard. The worst is that I had a downstairs room and the people above me above at 5 am and I was awoken by loud footsteps on top of my head.

This property has really gone downhill, especially since the closing of the restaurant. What it really needs is someTLC by someone who cares because the property has tremendous potential to be a beautiful property if just shown a little bit of care with some small adjustments and upgrades.

There was no host during entire stay. The host was a (g)host. You enter an empty house. Kitchenette in common area was filled with the same dirty, moldy dishes the entire stay. The bathroom smelled like septic tank. Bathroom door did not latch. Felt like a ghost town of year's past.

I awoke to tidy things up prior to checking out only to realize how dirty the rug and worse, my bed sheets and banket and even found bugs. Before I left I sent a text to the Innkeeper and waited 20 minutes but never got a response. I dont like to leave negative reviews and the place presents itself better perhaps until you really look.

It was a low-frills room but clean, comfortable, and dark enough. Tap water was not delicious, water pressure strange. It was cool staying in a really old inn! I liked the ambiance and had a good night of sleep.
