Nice location. Friendly people. Small rooms, no elevator. Three spiders in the bathroom with webs! Yellow water from the bathroom sink. Nice bed, horrible pillows. If it wasn't for the view and the location, it would not have been a good trip. I don't think we will stay there again.

Outstanding location and a lovely property. However, the furnishings in the rooms (and the lobby for that matter) are severely outdated. Hallways also had a musty odor. No coffemaker or refrigerator in the room.

This was our first time staying here. We were here for 2 nights. When we woke up the first morning there, there were little bug wings everywhere and we also found a pair of sweat pants behind one of the night stands. When I told the front desk about these, the lady said the wings were fairy wings and when I told her about the pants, all she had to say was, “that’s gross”. Yep, it was gross!

I really wanted to love this place but it fell short. First the property itself outside is beautiful. However, the building and room was very musty smelling and there was glass in my room which I cut my foot. The restaurant was overpriced and couldn’t seem to cook my filet correctly, even after 2 tries. I will stick to a chain in the future.

Lakeside Inn since 1883. Property is in great shape. The only problem was what they call them is blind mosquitoes that come from the lake. They might be able to help reduce the amount of them by using fans on the porch or maybe screens. So bad you couldn't sit out there in the morning.

Disliked: Room comfort
Charming picturesque vintage lakeside inn. Unfortunately, that meant really small room with an ac that cooled the room but left it very humid. Clean but old, our section was built in 1927, but no vent for bathroom and window painted shut in a century worth of flaked paint. Restaurant was under renovation but full menu was available in bar. Food was good but service was extremely slow and there were only two other tables of guests. Pool was ok, but lots of lakeside bugs and my wife got a spider bite. No frozen drinks at pool bar, had to walk to main bar inside the inn for pina colada’s. Staff was friendly but stay was just ok.
