Our Guest Book

Entries copied from the old guest book, for travelers planning their stay. The book itself is no longer at the front desk. Spelling preserved.


Margaret & Bill H., Ohio — October ’96   ★★★★★

“The pancakes alone are worth the drive around the lake. The grey cat supervised our breakfast and approved. Five stars from both of us.”

R. Whitfield, traveling salesman — November ’96   ★★★★

“Quiet room, honest coffee, radio at the counter. Slept like a stone. The fog comes right up to the porch in the morning — beautiful. Docking one star because the storeroom bolt sticks, which the management assures me is tradition.”

Anna P., Portland — February ’97   ★★★★★

“A warm and pleasant stay. The forest is beautiful in the mornings. We did not go near the water.”

Mr. Sm—th (signature unclear) — August ’86   ★★★★★

“A most satisfactory stay. The sheets were of the proper thickness and the walls were where I left them. Forty dollars, on the counter, exactly. I will be needed here again.”

Esteban M., Lakewood (a regular) — undated   ★★★★★

“Every night at the counter. Pie, if there's any left. Best seat on the lake.”

The Kowalski family — March ’97   ★★★★★

“A warm and pleasant stay. The forest is beautiful in the mornings. We did not go near the water.”

June & Harold, honeymooners — April ’97   ★★★★

“We loved the shore path and the little cafe. The grey cat hissed at my husband, which he deserved. We will be back for our anniversery.”
