The place is charming, peaceful, impeccably clean, and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. The setting is absolutely gorgeous- nestled in the rolling hills and abutting a pristine, glacier-fed lake that I couldn't stop jumping into. I was there during the Summer, but am looking forward to returning during the Ski season- highly reccomend!

We had a pleasant stay. We stayed in the cottage. The furnoture was quite old but everything was very clean.The room was quite spacious as well. We ate dinner at the inn and it was delicious. The breakfast was also outstanding as well. The bartender made a very tasty drink as well. I had a mohito. I would stay again in a heartbeat!. The staff and Innkeeper was very accom

Pleasant Step Back in Time

Enjoyed staying at The Inn at Starlight Lake. Planned a 2 day fishing trip to the West Branch of the Delaware river. It was like stepping back in time. The lack of internet service and television was actually quite pleasant. I sat and read in the evenings and listened to the wildlife at the lake. Viewed 2 whitetail buck drinking from the lake at 6 am with the fog rising from the lake. I plan on coming back.

Convenient location to area I was working. Cost vs benefit wasn't there. Even though it was neat to stay at a place build 200 or so years ago, the cost vs benefit wasn't there. Price point vs a traditional hotel was the same, but didn't have all of the amenities that a hotel would offer for the same price point. I would stay here again if the opportunity arised.

Not the Hallmark Movie "Inn" you hope for

The photos of the hotel online must be 20 years old, the hotel is very run down and in need of a complete facelift, from the front door to each individual room. I was afraid to open my window due to all the bugs on the windowsill. There were dead bugs on the floor of the room I cleaned as I moved my stuff in. There were cobwebs on the lamp shades and one lamp didn't even work. The chair in the room had lost its cushioning years ago. There was no TV in the room and outside of WiFi, there was no cell service. The pier/dock footings were bent at a dangerous angle, I'm surprised it was even open for guests. The highlight was the restaurant and the staff. The food was excellent (which was good since there was nowhere else around to eat) and the staff treated you like family.

I knew this wasn’t a fancy hotel so my expectations were not extremely high. But I did expect basic cleanliness and maintenance. The property has no air-conditioning (something else I didn’t realize until I checked in), so when I arrived at my room the window was open. Despite the fact that the windows have screens, my entire windowsill and window screen were caked with a thick layer of dead bugs and filth. The room was extremely hot, and there was a small fan but it was extremely weak, and it also was covered in dead bugs and filth. Just to round things off, there was a dead bug chilling on the bathroom countertop to greet me. I took a shower, and found the water pressure to be the weakest it could possibly be without being nonexistent. It was a literal trickle. The drain was so slow that by the time I finished my shower, the water in the tub was above my ankles. And then I reached for the grab bar so I didn’t slip getting out, and the bar came off in my hands. Between the sweltering heat, the very loud yet ineffective fan, and the general ick factor, I got almost no sleep. I was booked for two nights, but I forfeited what I had paid for the second night and left because I just couldn’t deal with staying there another night.

Confused by the positive reviews

We had a mixed experience here; would never return nor recommend. Very run-down accommodations, overworked dinner waitstaff, grounds liablilites in the dark (if you have to walk from the cottage or parking lot to the main house at night), zero amenities in the cottage rooms (aside from a space heater), and a shower drain that gurgled all night long. One star for the lake, which is beautiful (if you can find the right equipment, good for kayaking or a canoe ride), and one for the breakfast, which was much better than the dinner we had there.

Great old building and good food at a good price. The Inn is a gem but needs a major update. I was on a fishing trip and it met my needs. The staff was excellent. Many people would not be comfortable with the condition of the property. It's a sweet old building across from a lake and it just needs investment money and TLC.

We booked this hotel based on Expedias pictures which were nothing like the hotel. They must have been 30 years old. The shingles were falling off the building neumous holes in the siding, grass overgrown. Dingy and dank . Spelled like mold inside and the dock did not look safe. We did not stay. I was actually afraid it might burn down while I was sleeping!
