Summary: Amazing and gorgeous place to stay. The rooms were comfy and clean, and the space is marvelously well restored. Staying in such a historic building is also such a privilege!
My only comment would be the breakfast. It has a fairly limited menu (just bagels, scones, coffee) with very few "filling" options. I would've appreciated at least some cereal. I'm more than happy bringing my own food when I stay somewhere, but my room also didn't have a fridge and there isn't a public fridge, so I had nowhere to store perishables.

Summary: The room on the first floor was small but cozy. The host communicated well how to enter the property and the room. The beds were very comfortable. It was nice to be able to control the temperature in the room. The bathroom was extremely clean. There were no chairs in the room but there was a small bench. Breakfast included scones, fruit and bagels, as well as coffee. Delicious! There is parking in the premise. I highly recommend staying here.

Summary: Our room was just what we needed and the best part was the private porch with lake view. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Summary: Great place. Clean room and super quaint, albeit little scary being in almost 200 year old mansion;)
Morning breakfast was great too.

Summary: Absolutely loved our stay! Very quaint inn with a lot of history. We will definitely be returning. Only downside I’ll mention is we would’ve loved to have the option to open the windows overnight, as it was a bit warm when we returned. We ended up powering on the AC which worked well, but would’ve been great to feel that fresh air off the lake.

Summary: A beautiful old manor in a lovely part of town. We loved the proximity to downtown and the waterfront.
