Highly recommend. Perfect spot on Lake Seneca, a little removed from Main Street. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Gorgeous views of the Lake from the room and even better ones from their stunning, but low key patio, well equipped with Adirondack chairs, tables and fire pits. Rooms were good, spacious enough, and beds were comfortable. Parking was easy.
