Inn On Long Lake

Inn On Long Lake

10/10 Excellent
"We loved being able to walk the paths behind the Inn & sit out at the water on the Adirondack chairs & relax. Breakfast was sufficient. The only thing that was annoying was the liquid soap on the sink - it should either be thicker or in a different dispenser as it is like water & sprays in all directions."
