I love the whole ambiance of the place so unique and romantic. If you a person who can appreciate nostalgia definitely go for it. I love the speakeasy bar ❤️ definitely will be back or even have my wedding here. Staff was nice and friendly we came the night of a bad snow storm and didn’t make to after hours the staff accommodations were truly appreciated!! I can’t wait to visit in the summer months since I visited in February!!!

Wonderful staff, basic, no-frills room

Pros: The staff
Cons: Better lighting, a phone and a clock would all be good.
Location: Great location in walking distance to town and the lake.
First let me say, the manager and staff were wonderful. I was there recovering from surgery and they were very kind, even calling to see how I was doing each day. The room in the carriage house was clean and functional, but the rooms are bare-bones basic and very small; not the best choice for an extended stay. While I am not eager to return, I would say I see the potential for weekend, overnight guests who just want a place to sleep for the night and don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room.
