We had a wonderful stay! From the time we entered we were greeted with margaritas. Staff was fantastic. Pool area was wonderful. Also enjoyed riding bikes, which are free and taking a paddle boat ride. We were there over the 4th of July and the pool area had a DJ. Not too far of a walk to the beach. We will definitely be back!

Lovely stay, lovely staff! But not cheap 😉

The hotel overall was very good, certainly on par with the best in the area. Staff were both professional and friendly, and a nice unexpected perk was that the shuttle was on call whenever you needed it, not just on the hour or half hour. As was clear from the map location, the water overlook was of the river leading out to the lake, not the lake itself, so that was a given. Unfortunately, directly across the river was an industrial site for storage and loading of gravel. Not much to be done about it, but it does mar what would otherwise be a really nice view. We were offered free margaritas upon check-in, and post dinner s'mores at the fire pits on the veranda. It being a holiday weekend, we expected quite a large crowd of tourist families, and were 100% correct. So, we didn't end up using the smallish indoor and outdoor pools, but we did eat dinner and breakfast at the very well-designed restaurant. Dinner was a little disappointing (lukewarm ribs and the whitefish entree was just OK), but breakfast was fabulous (great, interesting selections on the menu). We enjoyed the french toast and the freshly pulled corned beef in the hash & eggs. At $685 all in for the night, it was a very expensive overnight, and that may be why my expectations were pretty high. You'll pay much less than that during mid-week or off season. But what really makes a place shine is the people, and the folks at The Inn were definitely its greatest asset.

The view from our room was good. Didn't know that there was a sand/gravel unit across the water from the hotel, that was a downer. Felt that the property was overpriced for the area. The rooms were ok. We had a connecting room with another family, who were a bit noisy. The Planks restaurant on site was very good. Staff was nice everywhere. Not sure if we'd stay here again due to cost.

Hotel is very nice over all. Room was visited two of the three days by housekeeping. Restaurant service was extremely slow especially when ordering only salads. Waiter was very kind and apologetic. Our meal was comped and we were handed our salads as we left. The hotel is not very assessable for families wanting to visit the beach. You must walk up the sidewalk which is on a highway exit ramp and then over a bridge.
