Upon check-in, we had to wait as there was a sign up on the counter stating the clerk was busy. Planks was decent, but the service was terribly slow. Probably bad timing just all around. Would stay there again just wouldn’t rush back.

Close but no Cigar

This hotel is in a great location with lots of opportunities for different types of fun. The downside is you are expected to deliver the level of service commiserate with the price you charge. We were gone all day, only to find out that our towels had not been replaced and the room had not been serviced. When we called the front desk we were blown off and told we must not have realized our towels have been replaced, even though they were still stacked up where we left them on the floor in the morning. There are lots of positive with this property, but until they get the polish on the “service” aspect of what they do, it will never reach potential.

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.
