8/10 Very Good

This is a lovely, historical inn with some unique features. The staff is very warm and friendly, the restaurant serves a great breakfast and you have beautiful views of the lake from the back of the property. However, the inn could use a little updating in some areas. For example, the floors were extremely creaky to the point that just shifting your weight caused a loud creak! Overall, a very nice place to stay.
