Location location, location! The island house is a short walk from the town which means sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the front lawn in the evening was quiet and peaceful. We loved sitting by the fire in the front yard on the chilly evening. We will be back!!

This space was fabulous. It’s a great little hotel for a night or two, had an excellent porch and dining room with the best views overlooking the lake. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were a bit small but perfect for a short trip. The historic charm still shines through throughout the space and the amenities worked for my family. The swimming pool is great and I’m really impressed with this property, I would stay again.

While it was a very, very clean room, it lacked major updating! The bathroom, especially, the shower, was majorly outdated! If it wasn’t for that, it would’ve been perfect!
