This was a last minute getaway for us and we are so glad we chose Windermere House. Beautiful building and property. Loved that all the amenities were available even though it was April. Hot tub and cold plunge pool was amazing and then relaxing in the sauna. Dinner around the fire with other guests in the evening was so nice. Only 1 night spent there and we will be back!

We had a very enjoyable weekend at Windermere House to celebrate Kathy's birthday. The complementary bottle of Preseco was a very generous and appreciated surprise. The staff were very attentive to our needs and very helpful. All in all a pleasant experience. Thanks so much.

It's a beautiful property, I wish there were more amenities and active services. In winter 1-2days would be the maximum stay length , as the surrounding area, as beautiful as it id it's not walkable. Sauna and Jacuzzi were nice. Breakfast was really good. Bar food wasn't bad, but could defend have some music.
