- Staff very friendly and welcoming - The bed was very very comfortable! - Bar/informal dining area - Beautiful walk at the back of the property with shoeshoes available if needed. - Breakfast was lovely although not very warm- would recommend the pumpkin pancakes.

- The walls are extremely thin? We could hear everything from the room next door including someone snoring the entire night. - Tranquility room is advertised on the website although does not state that it is at an additional cost. I would have thought the price of the stay to be better value had this have been included.

Beautiful old house that has been maintained and added to in some parts to make a cozy inn. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a walk in the woods on a trail behind the property.

At dinner as well as in breakfast some of the food was barely warm when it should have been hot. To be honest, we did not complain to the staff about it.

Close by to family who live on the lake.

Bed (Cardinal room) was not as comfortable as expected for the room rate. Otherwise fine and limited or no maid service understood due to Covid-19, so hospitality experiences are not expected to be as would otherwise normally be as in the past. That applies to all hotels. Breakfast was very good each day! Service very slow but, again, expected due to staffing issues caused by COVID-19.

People who work in the hotel were very nice And helpful. The bed room was very good. Breakfast was very good.

The restaurant only works in the weekends. The hotel is very isolated, and there is nothing to Do in the area. It is feeling like the place had better days.

Our room had a large tub, the shower had a steam option! As soon as we arrived, Donna checked us in and took us on a small tour. Donna even explained the history of the Inn, fascinating. We had dinner reservations for 7:30, we went to the bar to waste some time. Corey, the bartender, totally made us feel at home. The fireplace outside was a perfect touch. Corey and Donna are rockstars!! We will definitely be back! Ohhh... lake access with canoes and kayaks, great for fishing!

The Inn has some nice history, and the building has character. Grounds are nice and access to Friends Lake is nice with Kayaks and Canoe available. Restaurant in superb! Staff was very friendly. Front desk staff was helpful and gave us a tour of the building and what was available on the property at check in. Nice touch.

Can’t think of anything.

Not able to enjoy the breakfast due to our schedule.

We had to leave by 7:15 to be at an event, so we could not enjoy breakfast. Perhaps a to-go bag could have been provided, ie. pastry, granola bar, water, etc.

Breakfast was excellent particularly for being included in room rate. Way better than standard continental breakfast.

It would have been nice if there were activities within walking distance of the lodge,
