This was our second visit to the Inn.  This time, we got the Lupine room, and we could not ask for more.  The other one last time was fine, but much smaller.  The service was great, and even though the restaurant was closed (again, as it was 2 years ago), the continental breakfast was very good, and very much appreciated (great coffee). And there were several dining options open this time around: The Gap (Lake Willoughby), the Carriage House Cafe and Grill (Orleans) and the Busy Bee diner (Glover) were all excellent. We went back to the Carriage House for dinner on Friday.  Love this area.

Very nice inn and beautiful room.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The Robert Frost cabin has amazing views of the lake and surrounding hills, and direct access to both the grassy area with small play equipment and kayaks, as well as our own little dock. We were charmed by the kitschy decor (some people might say it’s outdated and old; we thought everything was in good shape and delightfully retro). The beds were comfortable, and we were relieved to find central air conditioning when the days were hotter and more humid than expected! The restaurant at the Inn (right across the road) served good food with very friendly service, and, while the Inn’s continental breakfast was decent, we chose to go down the road to the Willoughby store for egg sandwiches and coffee. None of us had cell service there, and the WiFi was pretty spotty, but if you’re looking to get away from it all, I can’t recommend this place enough!

We loved this Inn and Cottage!

The place was wonderful. Their new chef William is fantastic, and the staff, apparently mostly new, did their best to make the stay great. Came with a group of 12. Nice boats to borrow, beautiful views. Pleasant rooms with good beds. Tasty food. Wish we could have stayed longer. Owner trying hard to keep improving things, too.

Great place!

We stayed in the Angler cabin right on the lake. The kitchen appeared to be recently remodeled and was almost better stocked than our kitchen at home. The bed was comfy. We appreciated that they had kayaks, canoes, paddles and life preservers right there for easy use.

Nice lake cabin

We have been here four times. The last time we rented a lakefront cabin. It was absolutely perfect.  The staff were vert friendly and helpful to any questions. The area is just stunning and you will want to take many pictures.

Perfect

This is a charming, old-fashioned inn with a good free breakfast (homemade muffins, etc., ) and a good bar and restaurant that's open in the summer. A relaxing, rural getaway. We stayed in the huge Aiken suite. The Internet is a little iffy ine cabins, but you can sit on the pretty porch, if it's important. Better just to take a break from the modern worl.

Charming, right on the lake

We've been staying at this Inn annually (except 2020) for decades now. The inn changed ownership in 2020, & in July 2021, I read in "Seven Days" that the new owner had considered converting the building to a private residence, but was convinced by the inn's housekeeper to keep it as an inn. During our stay that summer, it was hard to tell (given the weirdness of Covid protocols) whether he was fully committed to being an innkeeper. Prior to our stay this year, I was disheartened by the recent online reviews I read. So I'm pleased to report that we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was as comfortable & clean as ever, staff was friendly & helpful, the restaurant has re-opened (we did not eat there), & there's a lovely new dining patio overlooking the lake. A continental breakfast is once again available to inn guests; for my money, the best change at the inn is that that breakfast is now available starting at 7am.  Since most guests are anxious to get outside to take advantage of the region's many recreational options, this earlier breakfast is most welcome. (On the other hand, since most guests are planning very active days, it would be great if, in addition to the cold cereal, coffee, fruit, & bread products on offer there were something with a bit of protein -- perhaps hard-boiled eggs or yogurt). We were relieved & happy that we're not going to have to seek out another place to stay on Lake Willoughby, & are looking forward to our return next summer.

Unbeatable location on beautiful Lake Willoughby

We stayed one night in the Courtyard room - a room in the main house - of this large "inn". Clean room, comfortable queen-sized bed, small fridge, hair dryer, tv and interest access, and enough space in the room for two people to maneuver around the bed. Large private bathroom was nice. This room was accessible through the interior of the inn, and also had a separate entrance outside with a ramp for additional accessibility. We liked this additional "privacy". The common area where we checked-in had a funky smell, but our room did not. Staff were friendly and welcoming on the phone and when checking-in. We checked-in during the early evening and left very early in the morning, so minimal interactions with staff and guests, and no time spent in the common areas. For one night this room met our needs. We typically prefer hotels for more privacy, but we have stayed at inns/B&Bs when in rural areas where hotels are non-existent (in exchange for the beauty of nature, scenery, etc...ok with us!), but can be hit or miss - this inn passed the test for cleanliness, privacy and room not too small. Due to covid, there was no food service that we were aware of - so no special breakfast (bummer - although we didn't take too much time to explore, food/restaurants seemed far and few between), and there were few people around (maybe all in their rooms?), but we imagine that in "regular times" this inn is quite lively with guests, food, games, etc... If ever in the area again, we would consider staying at the WilloughVale Inn.

Overnight Stay

Wonderful weekend in a cabin on the lake — a great deck as well as a screened in porch.  The place is a bit dated, worn, but cozy and best location.  Own dock for our kayaks.  Very helpful staff despite height of COVID.  Right on the lake.  Kitchen well equipped.

A wonderful cabin right on the lake.

Clean property, but needs updating. It would be in its heyday in the early 70s'. Excellent location and great views. Breakfast muffins tasted like stale frozen grocery store variety - needed improvement. Too bad the tavern and restaurant are closed as that was one of the reasons I booked this property, only to be notified later that it was being closed indefinitely. Stayed anyhow but nearby dining is very limited. The new owner definitely needs hospitality training. Overall, it is a good value and one of the better properties in the area.
