What Guests Are Saying

“The inn was lovely, the spa treatments were excellent and the property was beautiful. This is a perfect getaway - and close to many areas for easy travel to and from.” — Tourist306056, 5 stars

“If you are looking for a wedding venue that turns your special occasion into an event to remember you need to consider coming to Interlaken Inn. We hosted an August wedding for 140 people …. the ceremony was by the lake ( a stunning back drop), cocktail hour back at the Inn, dinner and dancing under the tent, and the after party in the Atrium - it’s all there in one spot. At least 100 of our guests stayed on the grounds for two nights, so Friday night we had a robust crowd at the “pizza truck” welcome dinner and then lakeside at the bonfire making s’mores - the bride and groom were thrilled to actually spend time with their friends and family before their wedding day. On Saturday, guests played pickleball, went kayaking on the lake, relaxed poolside, golfed nearby, and explored local quaint towns. There’s plenty to do at Interlaken and how fun it is to visit with each other. Again, if this is the vibe you want you will get it here. Things to note: 1. Interlaken Inn provides a wedding planner to coordinate all the details of the weekend and especially on the wedding day. Sarah was on point, thank you Sarah! 2. There are accommodation options, from your standard hotel room to a 2 or 3 bdrm townhouse or a pet friendly room. 3. Don’t worry about weather, there are back up plans for rain and if needed there is AC for the tent area. 4. The wedding tent is gorgeous, the Atrium is spacious for the afterparty, the grounds are perfect for pictures and general atmosphere. 5. Quality of food and presentation a 10. Be sure to check this venue out for your wedding.” — europe1234, 4 stars

“I understand the sentimental tone of many reviews. This inn is old school and many folks do not want to see any changes under the guise of improvements. It is clearly a successful wedding venue for this reason and its proximity to top boarding schools will never warrant any competition. My experience was pretty basic. I got the mildew, dim lit vibe. There was no overhead lighting in my second floor room. Thankfully there was additional lighting in the bathroom on a timer and a makeup mirror for proper magnification for those of us craving light. My balcony was screen enclosed with indoor outdoor carpet that has seen better days. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were hard as a rock. It would have been most helpful upon check in to have been offered some guidance as a first time visitor to the area. I saw many lakes but could never find this resort’s access. The pool, however basic, reminded me of places I used to visit as a child and again this is all part of the charm. Good coffee in the dining room come 7am. Did not dine there but had takeout wings which came with no blue cheese or dipping sauce and were a tad overcooked. Could not find the ice machine but the restaurant kindly provided ice. Again, a little tutorial regarding services would have been helpful but the front desk staff seemed far more interested in their individual agendas and not into guests checking in. Could not find the gym either and understood from website there may have been one? Heavy rains during my stay created massive overflow of the gutters and run off - a bit of TlC to the lovely landscape and some weeding would help the tired appearance. Old school at it’s finest and really no incentive to operate any differently than it has been for many years.” — Traveling W., 3 stars
