Friends Lake Inn

My wife and I recently stayed at the Friends Lake Inn and I wish I had read the recent reviews before we went. We stayed there about five years ago. Clearly, the place has deteriorated. The rooms were clean, but dark. Some of the lamps did not work, including the closet lamp. The "breakfasts," were nothing more than plastic wrapped donuts and old, store bought, bagels The coffee was from 'fresh' Keurig containers. (The same ones as in the room). The " hot breakfast" on the weekend consisted of serve yourself eggs and cold bacon and the same wrapped bagels, with single cream cheese containers and hard butter. The "staff," consisted of one desk person, who occasionally looked up to help you. There was no intention to assist with bags or to get you to your room. The directions we

DO NOT have your weeding at Friends Lake Inn. This review does not even deserve a star. It’s atrocious! Even though it is some what “All inclusive” it’s not worth going there. How do I start out: THEY DID NOT PROVIDE APPETIZERS!!! During cocktail hour we were supposed to get specific appetizers passed around and we had no food at all!! It was so embarrassing because the wedding guests were expecting food. Good thing I paid for open bar, which by the way was an extremely high price. The amount of turnover of staff you deal with during the process is unbelievable. We had three different wedding advisors and they were absolutely horrible. Our contract we signed with FLI was breached. one by not providing the food that was listed on the contract. We also paid for a guest to have a dairy free m

Our wedding at Friends Lake Inn was absolutely perfect. 5/5 Google review! A huge shout-out to Lena, who is brand new to her role as wedding director and coordinator, but handled everything with incredible grace and expertise. She was truly amazing and ensured every detail of our special day ran seamlessly. The entire team at Friends Lake Inn contributed to an unforgettable experience. Betty and Angie, along with the talented chefs, were all phenomenal. Angie, the bartender, was super accommodating, even letting us extend our time by the outdoor fireplace while respecting the 10 PM quiet hours. Betty was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. And the food! The chefs prepared amazing dishes, especially the wings, which were a huge hit. The entire staff is exceptionally hard-work

We just had the worst dinner and experience. We waited almost 2 hours for completely inedible food. The kitchen staff were cursing and screaming on the other side of the wall from our table. At least one waitress quit or was fired in the middle of it all. Our waitress, while starting out well, never came by our table by the end. Two of my kids got the fried chicken sandwich which was over fried and dry. We got the chicken pot pie that had a soggy, doughy puff pastry on top and an odd, off putting taste. My husband got duck that was carbonized on the outside and dry as a bone. We asked for bread twice, and never received it. I would not recommend eating at this establishment.

My husband and I stayed here for our first anniversary and I had to write a review, which I never do. But, this was absolutely necessary. From the moment of arrival, the room, the view, the cozy home feeling, and the service. Impeccable. The front desk manager, ugh I can’t I remember her name🤦🏻‍♀️ The room location was right near the outdoor wedding venue and as I sat outside enjoying everything, I could help but hearing her explain in detail how the day was planned what they do and what to expect was pretty impressive. I couldn’t help but pay attention. If she is not the manager, she should be….or a raise of some sort. She knew her stuff. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and such a friendly welcoming woman. She very much accommodated us during our stay. Highly recommend and we will now ca
