We loved our stay at the Independence Inn. It was clean and welcoming. The self check in was easy and the innkeeper was wonderful! They went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs.
NICHOLAS, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Charming inn with an easy check in/out procedure. My room had a tilt to it from an uneven foundation so the bed alignment was a little difficult to get used to. Overall I liked the ambiance and antique decor. Breakfast was a little lacking.

we checked in around 9 pm and was dark out. no staff at the location . felt little spooky at the beginning, called the Inn Keeper and she explained about the building. It was a old building but it was clean . had a small kitchenette which was very convenient for us. they had every thing you need for a Breakfast. i had not issues for a one night stay. beautiful lake near this stay.
Siddharth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The inn was lovely with a nice historic charm as expected. Self check-in was easy. The room was clean and had what we needed as well as the common kitchenette area, however leaving early we did not want to wake anyone so used it minimally. We were not aware that the restaurant and bar had closed and found ourselves at the deli for some pizza. Overall experience was nice and would return if we were in the area.
laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We never saw a member of the staff, it was self check in and out. There was supposed to be breakfast included, nothing. Maybe during a different season? The building was built in 1832 and was very charming. The rooms were comfortable. Kind of off the beaten path and no restaurants or stores around.

Would book again
Great room for the price. Owner was very nice and welcoming. The restaurant was great.
Raul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a no-contact Inn with a phone number for the Innkeeper posted. Very nice room, but the latch on the bathroom door didn’t work so you had to place something against the door to keep it closed. The lamp bulb by the night stand was dead but we switched it with another one in the room. We appreciated the breakfast offerings, kitchenette, white noise machine, and reasonable price.

I like the uniqueness of the property. They also keep the room and common areas very clean.
Adrien, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This property has really gone downhill, especially since the closing of the restaurant. What it really needs is someTLC by someone who cares because the property has tremendous potential to be a beautiful property if just shown a little bit of care with some small adjustments and upgrades.
Don, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Inn is very special and we definitely enjoyed staying in there. Although we did not have a chance to meet them in person, the host have been very responsive to our enquiries during our stay. There are some flaws which could be easily be corrected. The freshness of the breakfast food should be better monitored and the room does not have a hair dryer. May be also a good idea to have the small kitchen on the same floor as the dining tables.
Emanuele, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We completely enjoyed our stay. Beautiful lake just a five minute walk to see.
Tim, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was warm and welcoming. It was in good condition. Easy self check in and out. Restaurant was great and food was delicious.
Kyle, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Place lacks from being able to meet someone as we expected for a place identified as an Inn. Advertised continental breakfast is basic in a self-served kitchenette on the middle floor without any adjacent sit-down area. Mini-fridge in room was not cleaned and had leftovers from a past customer. Parking was good.
Andre, 1-night trip

Vey cute little Inn. Not much around, which can be nice because it’s quiet.
Samantha, 1-night trip

Very nice stay!
Check in was really easy and the room was adorable! We’re planning on coming back during the winter because I feel like this room would be super cozy in the winter!

Quick stay
This was only a one night stay, so I don't have much to say, but it was clean and quaint, and I would definitely stay here again.
