What Guests Are Saying
“We are returning guests, and whenever my husband and I need a quick getaway, this is always our first choice. We love how peaceful the lake is, and the inn itself has such a warm, cozy feel. The Cadillac Mountain room is our favorite, the fireplace, jacuzzi, and incredibly comfortable bed make it hard to leave. We arrived Friday evening just in time for dinner and ordered the squash soup (absolutely amazing!), along with pizza and a salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. Hannah was our server and bartender; she mentioned she was newer to bartending, but she did an excellent job. Breakfast was just as enjoyable. Miguel took great care of us both mornings, he was attentive, efficient, and a pleasure to chat with. This will always be our go-to spot when we need a reset. Until next time!” — Ashley A., 5 stars
“Lovely Inn nestled on a pond, with no detail spared. We stayed in the Eagle’s Nest cabin and it was beautiful. Clean and luxurious; working gas fireplace, comfy bed, cozy robes, clean, updated bathroom. The food was amazing, and the Inn was extremely cozy and just an all around hygge-inducing experience. Beautifully decorated, lit just right, and kept up with clear and intentional loving care. The staff was also super friendly. We will return for sure!” — Doris F., 5 stars
“My stay at the Wolf Cove Inn was wonderful. The room was immaculate, and thoughtfully decorated with a local flair. The floor heating was especially welcomed.
