Nice, quiet, economical overnight stay. Would like to see a stair to the lake. Roads were narrow and unsafe to walk.

Awesome stay! I do wish that the trolley had started running at the beginning of the weekend (it was Memorial Day weekend and the pool opened Saturday but no trolley until Sunday). Everything was great with the room. The only complaint is that the beds are not incredibly comfortable but would not keep us from returning. Looking forward to our next trip!

This is a very old establishment. The rooms are smaller than the room on a cruise ship. They offer a breakfast but it is not located on the property. It is about a 1/4 mile away in another facility.

The hotel is nice. The service was the best part. We had an issue with our AC unit in the room and they immediately found a solution. Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly. Definitely recommend this hotel if you’re wanting a quiet getaway.

The lake that's infront of the hotel is BEAUTIFUL! The lobby is super unique, it's got an old fashioned style look! The only thing I didn't like was that they didn't have a breakfast options.

The Lambuth Inn is a charming property with peaceful, landscaped surroundings. All staff were friendly and kind. Housekeeping is only available upon request, which I wasn't informed about, so I returned to an unmade bed. My upgraded lake view room was disappointing due to condensation between window panes and obstructed view from rotten balcony wood. The AC unit appeared dirty, so I didn't use it despite the warm weather. However, the Easter Sunrise Service across the street was beautiful, and the breakfast buffet at the Lambuth Inn was delicious.
