The staff at Inn on the lake truly made our stay memorable. They will friendly, helpful, kind and considerate of our needs. While the room was clean, the entire facility is outdated. I don’t particularly mind that on the outside as it’s quaint and dainty but the inside could definetely use some love. The rooms often felt muggy and moist. The cute little pub offers some very cool old English vibes and the breakfast was delicious. Overall, I would stay again.

We loved our stay! It is such a quaint, picturesque and amazing food with room service and great staff We had such a bad night on our first night, and I was in tears as the bed was very uncomfortable for my arthritis. Without hesitation, they moved us to a better room with a better bed, which made all the difference for us. I would recommend Inn on the Lake for anyone wanting an authentic east coast stay. This place cares about their customers and it was a very memorable stay for us. Thank you Inn on the Lake SO MUCH!!

Great spot to stay near airport

The Inn on the Lake is a lovely establishment. Staff are incredibly helpful and kind. Rooms were somewhat outdated but kind of fits the style of the building and had everything you need. It was clean and comfortable enough. It's right on the lake so you can spend some time by the water relaxing, and we enjoyed a dinner at the gastropub on site.

Sadly, the outdoor areas of this property are in disrepair. I chose to stay at the property because the pictures on the internet were lovely, but they must have been taken years ago when this property was freshly remodeled. During our stay in June, the tennis courts were locked up and had seen better days. In the pictures online, they look beautiful, and we were disappointed not to be able to hit some balls. We were told that they will be renovated soon. The beach area was unkempt and uninviting. The gazebo and beach patio areas need a fresh coat of paint, and there are no chairs to sit on. The pool was filled with dirty debris so we stayed away. We were very disappointed with the rundown property. However, the staff was friendly and WONDERFUL!! They helped with our room dilemma, and our room was nice and clean! :) Thank you.
