As I travel for business often and end up mostly in chain hotel, it was nice to find this truly home style alternative.||The owners, that moved to Canada many years ago run this place, which is known locally for their dinner as well.||Each room is really nicely decorated and despite the age of this rustic inn, all room amenities are up to date and modern, from bathroom, flat screen TVs, WiFi, etc.||Amenities include access to it's own private beach, dock, kayaks and padel boats. All with Adirondack chairs making that area a nice quiet relax and reading area.||Many indoor and outdoor sitting areas, including a lake facing one with a hot tub.||A definite "must...
