Old fashioned lodge and we stayed in the main lodge. At first we thought it needed refurbishment but the bathroom was totally brand new and there was new carpet in the main bedroom, but all in a retro style. Staff were friendly, food was average. Nice view of the lake. All in all a good stay.

We came here to see the Alexander Graham Bell museum - highly recommend! This hotel served or purposes perfectly. It could probably use some renovation, but it's very nicely kept up. It's clean and we were very comfortable. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
