2/10 Poor

Old and overpriced

Everything was old and the only thing actually worked was that there were nice towels. Hard to give details of every little thing. Plus, WAY overpriced for what was received. Another issue came up while there, that was resolved by a super nice and understanding desk person. Appreciated him a lot !

Dillinger slept here

Lovely location on Lake Como and the staff is wonderful. The room was nice but the bathroom features could use some improvement and resulted in my only giving 3 stars in my review regarding condition.

The location on the lake is beautiful, but the room was very dated and in need of renovation.

10/10 Exceptional

A nice quiet place by the water with charm and wonderful hospitality. The room was clean and old fashioned with a great lake view. The restaurant was GREAT. Every staff member was friendly and did their work with a smile on their face - a rare find these days.

6/10 Good

This property is an old motel that they are remodeling into a cute, more modern lake spot. We got one of the old rooms that had not been remodeled. The air conditioner was extremely loud and would turn off and on. The balcony is a communal balcony that you share with all your neighbors (not ideal). And the water spits out at you due to the inconsistent water pressure. But the worst part was that we had small bugs on our room. We asked to be moved to another room which the staff resisted at first but finally moved us. Our second room was remodeled and much nicer and no bugs!! Overall, it was not even close to worth the $550 a night we paid.

Just wonderful!

Wonderful! We arrived and learned we were getting a fully remodeled room #103 that it was just within minutes of being completed. We sat out front with the lovely owners until our room was ready. Stunning view, wonderful bed, and large walk-in shower with a bench in it. The restaurant on the property had incredibly good food and great waiters! We would highly recommend and would love to come back! Thank you!

Really enjoyed our stay

Our first visit here was wonderful and in line with many other reviews. My only negative comment is that the bedroom curtains were not black out. It was too light for me to sleep in. Other than that, it was clean, comfortable, quiet and the closest thing to a resort visit I have experienced. We ate at the Getaway next door, a new restaurant on the water with excellent food. My husband had fun birding nearby, and I had fun exploring at the nearby Pesche Garden Center.

Needs updating.

You can not beat the view it is beautiful. However the condition of our room was lacking. Mismatched furniture no place to put your clothes, the room really needed a complete update. Pretty much every area needed to be touched. Breakfast was delicious. Eric did a great job of making sure there was more than enough food was available. I would be interested in coming back when renovations are complete it is my understanding they are slowly updating the Inn.

Update your place

Decided to try this place out. It definitely has potential and a great location. But it’s old and dated. They definitely need to do some updates. Beds were too soft and so were the pillows. It was hard to maintain the temp in the room. It’s loud. You can hear everything and everyone one. The restaurant is amazing! Very good food and service! Lots of lake view tables!
Ken, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room had a fireplace but when we turned it on it had a little smell. Not of gas. Maybe it was just not used recently so we turned it off. Our coupon for breakfast was great. The only thing was my coffee cup was so hot it almost burnt my lips every time I took a drink. It wasn’t the coffee it was my cup.

Great little spot, but Definitely not a spa

The area was absolutely beautiful!!!! The amenities, not so much. The "spa tub" was not operational. I first noticed there was no bath tub stopper. I alerted the attendant. They said they would try to locate it. They told me they were not able to find one that fit. The next morning i realized that the knob to turn on the jets was painted shut. The beautiful fire place in the room was not operational as well. The view was amazing and the restaurant and bar being 20 feet away was perfect. Great little get away minus the amenities not being functional.
