Peaceful and comfortable. Good for quiet reflection, long walks, or sitting around with family or friends. No amenities and the local area means a 15 to 20 minute drive, but hey, you stay here for the peacefulness of the lodge and sounds. ##### michael ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy Sep 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing property You drive on an unpaved road for quite a while to get to the Inn. Once you get there, there is the most beautiful place that looks like a large log cabin. It is right on the lake and there are trees everywhere. One of the most beautiful areas that I’ve been to. The room is huge and very comfortable. I also had a balcony that overlooked the lake. Perfect to sit with a glass of wine and stare at the sights. ##### Wendy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### bushra Jun 11, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great retreat Amazing.

The Retreat at Norwich Lake was terrific. Room was quite lovely with plush carpet and a comfortable bed. The retreat is right on Norwich lake. A short drive down a dirt road is required to reach the retreat. There was no TV in the room but that was not a problem as the retreat has WiFi coverage. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola May 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stunning lodge The Retreat at Norwich Lake is amazing. The site is unbelievably beautiful, it is situated right on the lake, and there are boats, canoes and hiking trails included in the cost, as well as horses on site which can be ridden for an additional fee. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the rooms are really comfortable with great views. I highly recommend this place. ##### Nicola ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juliana Feb 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful cabin It was just what we were looking for. A secluded beautiful cabin-type hotel where we could see the snow and play some board games near a fire. We had an awesome time, the staff was ver friendly and helpful.

This place is fantastic!!!beautiful views,quiet calm and peaceful.the pictures don't do this place justice.the only problem I had was in the description of the lakeside cabin it says there is wifi,mini fridge and ect,and there was not.not too big of a deal but it makes bringing juice/milk and snacks for kids more difficult.the beds could have been more comfortable,but it was fine.also if you have a problem with not being able to lock your door then this place isn't for you as there are no locks.with that being said I never once felt like our safety/security was at risk,as the staff is 5star.this place might be something my friends and family will use a coupple times a year. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 10, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great suite in a beautiful rustic setting Beautiful site, building brand new.
