“Wonderful Fall Weekend in New Buffalo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Loved our stay at the Lake Country Inn. My family purchased a room for us to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary. They picked the Saffron Room. It was located on the second floor and had a large balcony overlooking a beautiful tree with red leaves. It is a Bed and Breakfast, but not the old fashioned type. We enjoyed our four poster bed. The Inn is located right in the heart of town and they have a shuttle to the Four Winds Casino which makes it really nice.

Would recommend an evening in New Buffalo to anyone!

“Absolutely Perfect 12th Anniverary”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Lake Country Inn was exactly what we were hoping for when we planned our anniversary weekend. It's centrally located to everything in New Buffalo (great little Harbor Country town). We loved that it was steps away from shopping and just across the street from great dining (Brewsters) and Art Galleries. All this and...just a couple of blocks away from the beach and boats on Lake Michigan. The owners and staff are very friendly and attentive, the beds and pillows were amazing, the linens were plush Ralph Lauren and the Spa H2O shampoos/soaps were a nice touch. The fridge is stocked with waters and juices for the taking...and breakfast every morning was quick and easy (pastries, yogurts, fruits). We definitely recommend this for couples seeking a get-away!

“Our compliments to the Inn Keepers!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

Our stay at the Lake Country Inn couldn't have been better. Thank you, Hope and Mark, for a great stay.

We stayed in the red room, which was decorated beautifully in vibrant colors with a sleek, white four-posted bed and a small love seat; a walk-in, tiled shower and beautiful pedestal sink; a flat screen TV in our room; and adirondack chairs on the porch outside. Unlike the other rooms, the red room has its own private access in the back of the inn, so you have a bit more privacy. Inside, the bed was soft (I'm guessing a pillow top?), just how we like it, and the Ralph Lauren sheets were luxurious. My husband and I both had a great nights sleep both nights -- it was quiet, dark, and we were able to control our own room temperature.

Upon our arrival, the innkeeper, Hope, greeted us warmly and gave us all the information we needed to know -- from how to access the building after hours, how to contact her in case of an emergency, where she'd recommend eating, etc. She saw we had a bottle of wine with us and gave us a couple glasses and a corkscrew without us needing to ask. It's clear that she and her husband take a lot of pride in the property and love what they do. Their attention to details goes a long way.

Each morning, a modest but yummy continental breakfast was served, including baked goods from a local bakery, The Flour Shop. You can expect to see cereals, yogurt, granola and fruit too. Coffee was available around the clock.

You cannot beat the location of the inn; it's right downtown New Buffalo, across from Brewsters (yummy Italian with a great "Dinner for 2" special). While it's not right off the beach, I'd rather not be, since all of the properties right off the beach are also right next to the train tracks. The Lake Country Inn is right in the heart of everything but without all the noise; we walked to the beach both days of our visit without any trouble at all.

The only problem we faced was that we didn't get a strong enough wi-fi signal to get online and we weren't getting great data service on our phones, but we're not complaining: it gave us an excuse not to respond to work e-mails! If you are hoping to use their internet, I'm guessing the other rooms would have better signal strength since they're inside the actual inn.

If we're ever back in New Buffalo (and we hope we will be), we wouldn't think twice about staying at the Lake Country Inn again.

“Perfect getaway!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

people found this review helpful

Husband and I spent a 2 night getaway for our anniversary. We had never stayed in a bed and breakfast before, and were pleasantly surprised! It was quiet and private, and the room was spacious and beautifully decorated. We loved the whole experience! Was so much more pleasant than staying in a big hotel! The staff goes out of their way to make sure you have everything you need, and that personal touch will keep us coming back. Loved how everything was in walking distance and the sunset was as beautiful as I had heard. It was the perfect getaway not too far from home and we will definitely be staying again!

“Flawless!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2011

I just returned from a weekend stay with my girlfriends at the Lake Country Inn. This Inn is exquisite. Every detail is polished and flawless. The color themed rooms each have a character of their own with furniture pieces you will want in your own home. The gathering areas are so comfortable and inviting that you won't want to leave. Yet, you are just a short walk to excellent dining, entertainment, shopping and even the beach. The owners and the staff were friendly and welcoming and ready to help in any way possible. I would recommend this Inn to anyone!
