The quaint, historic buildings are a trade off for lack of updated accommodations. Could be better maintained and upgraded, and it would be fabulous if it were updated but the rooms and linens were clean. We had two room suite and the A/C in the smaller room didn't work.

We enjoyed staying at the Lakeside Inn for this weekend's Art Festival, so we could walk to everything. The Inn was quaint, quiet, and had lots of chairs by the late to sit and enjoy a stunning sunset.

The whole property is ablosutely charming, it is hard to believe that the main Hotel was buid in 1883 it does not look its age, with the fesh coat of paint and and all the new plantings, it was reborn to its former...
