Cozy & Comfortable

I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the king-sized bed in our room! The view of the lake was a beautiful added bonus. It made our stay feel extra special, especially since we were celebrating my boyfriend's 40th birthday. Overall, our room was spacious and well-designed for relaxation.

Functional Yet Flawed

While the bathroom in our room was clean, I did encounter a little issue with the shower. It took a few tries to figure out how to get it running, but once I did, the hot water was just what I needed after a long day. A new showerhead might really enhance the experience.

Nice Breakfast

I loved that the stay included breakfast! The hot, complete breakfast was a fantastic way to start the day. It was much more satisfying than typical continental offerings you find elsewhere. Definitely a highlight of my mornings there.

Pleasant Pool Area

The indoor pool and hot tub were perfect for unwinding after a day out! I appreciated the accessibility features like the lift chair for the hot tub, which made it easy for everyone to enjoy. After a relaxing soak, I felt completely rejuvenated!

Barkers Island Inn has been a beloved place for my family for years, but there are noticeable areas for improvement. While the hotel benefits from a spacious layout and enjoyable pool area, the outdated rooms and chaotic hot tub situation left me wanting more. Overall, I appreciate the value for money but hope for some updates and changes to enhance the experience.

I have loved staying at this hotel over the years because of its charm and beautiful views. However, the amenities, especially the rooms, are in desperate need of renovation. While the staff was accommodating and the restaurant offered a pleasant dining experience, the noise from children in the hot tub was disruptive, and some areas felt outdated. Despite these issues, I still cherish my visits here and hope for improvements in the future.

The pool and hot tub were highlights for our family, and the overall vibe was friendly and accommodating.
