The town of Eagles Mere is very quaint and SMALL. One or two gift shops, a book store and a cafe.
The decorating style was "Goodwill eclectic". The nasty carpet needs to go. After seeing the room, we asked to move or see other rooms, but none were available.
We came to the area to hike and eventually found our way to the hiking trails and state parks. There is NO PHONE SERVICE in the area so getting around and finding anything is challenging. Once we found the hiking trails, they were beautiful!
The young lady who checked us in must have just started. She knew nothing about the area, i.e.the path or direction to the lake, the closest liquor store? (BTW 30 MILES AWAY).
My sister and I stayed at the Crestmont this past October. I have waited a bit before posting this review because I feel badly for the owners of the Inn. I have nothing good to say about our stay.
The inn is extremely run down. The pictures on the Internet are very misleading and must be at least 10-20 years old. We booked very early and thought we had chosen a delightful room, the French Country Cottage. Everything about the room was old and dilapidated, from the falling off dust ruffle to the falling apart chandelier that was dangling over the bed. The air conditioner was either inefficient or just not working and the towel stuffed between the side of the window and the air conditioner was less than attractive. There were no screens on any of the windows so opening them up was not an option.
Some updates. Cute room. Clean but stained carpet. Very pretty location close to the lake. Great restaurant at the inn.
If you want to escape civilization, Eagles Mere is the place to go. Prior to leaving the area we did find another B&B that had recently been renovated. It looked very nice. Hopefully the owners of the Crestmont Inn will be able to do some restoration. It looks as though the Inn was lovely at one time. At least tidy up the grounds and do a bit of fall decorating to make it a bit more inviting.
Stayed in the "Wedding Ring" room to celebrate our anniversary. Unfortunately we killed 11 flies in the room during our one night stay. Put a damper on our get-a-way weekend! They said "sorry" but it was the season. For the price paid for this room we expected more updated accommodations. The food was good and nice complimentary breakfast.
The Crestmont Inn is a beautiful location, our stay was recent so I'd love to come during busy season and fully experience the summer beauty of the lake and the area. We only stayed 2 days so we didn't get to walk the entirety of Laurel Path, a trail around the lake, but from what we did walk, it was beautiful. I feel that because it is off-season, customer service could have been better. We realized our hot water ran out in the evening and had to wait to report it the next day bc no one was at the front desk. The Inn was short staffed. We had dinner one night and breakfast one morning and the food was amazing and did not disappoint! Overall it was a great stay and I would love to return!
We were looking forward to a lovely B&B style breakfast but it was a diner breakfast at best. No rolls or pastries or jams. Basically a choice of eggs with cold toast with packets of jelly. Oh yes, there were also tiny, thin pancakes. Our evening meals were worse. We left hungry the first night because the portions were very small. We decided to get the cheeseburgers the second night figuring how could we go wrong. The burgers were so burnt, on both sides, that they were inedible. My sister attempted to eat hers but I could not even cut the burnt layer off of mine. The server never came back to check on us so I finally just gave up and ate potato chips back in the room. (They did take the burger of of the bill.)
The Jacuzzi tub was so loud, it sounded like it was going to take off and the TV did not work the second night.
Wonderful little getaway place. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent. I can see why they are so highly recommended.
