This was a nice little b&b. Room was very small but cozy. Rooms do not have TVs, so if your use to sleeping with TV bring your laptop. We were unable to have breakfast due to it not being ready till 8:30am, but it was close to a gas station that had a lot of options to get us through. The restaurant attached to the b&b seemed to be quite popular and had a good amount of people. The town it’s located in is very small but has two other restaurants within a 4-5 min walk.

The outside on the lake was beautiful. Room was smaller than a bedroom. Nothing but a bed and a small table. More spiders than I’d like to discuss. The facility is old so it takes a while to get the water hot for your shower. Lakefront room seems to mean stretching your neck to catch a glimpse of the lake around the building.

Hi Danielle, we have heard only good feedback in the short time that we have been open for business, so it is especially disheartening & surprising to read your perspective. Thank you for posting. In response--the house is originally from the 1800s but it has been fully renovated recently (including all new windows, less than a year old), in place is a meticulous cleaning regimen (as all other past guests have testified), and even though we are located in a village in the countryside & nature is all around us, I am very surprised to hear about any spiders, let alone so many that you were taken aback. They are of course around outdoors, but not in the house. Regarding the size of your room, we are very explicit in our room descriptions, down to exact square footage and furnishings per room (rather than just a bed and table, your room has also a dresser, a second smaller dresser, an area for hanging clothes, a mirror, a chair, 2 night stands with drawers, 2 reading lamps, and a full private bathroom). The window of your room looks out onto the lake side (vs. street side) of the house, and while you may have had to look past the large, very much in bloom, maple tree in the distance to get a clear view of the lake, most guests find that to be quite beautiful. Making a good impression on our guests is important to us and we will always strive to go above and beyond whether arranging a gift to be set up and ready in your room for your arrival (as we did for you upon the request of your thoughtful friend), or by making ourselves available (from check in, to dinner & breakfast, & all the time in between). We are always open to suggestions and guest requests during their stay, and I'm very sorry we weren't aware of your particular issues any sooner--we would have loved the opportunity to help you be able to leave on a more satisfied note.
