Bonnie View Inn

Bonnie View Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The Boniview inn outperformed every expectation I had. Our room was clean the king-size bed, totally comfortable and a spectacular view. My entire hope for this stay was to be able to play with Waters sports. And I did so endlessly canoeing, kayaking and paddle boating. The water equipment was clean and the lake large enough to completely connect with solitude. The food in the dining room was excellent and the outdoor patio lively and delicious. Live music was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this property."

"Spent one night here. The accommodations were perfect, we wanted a quiet, clean place to spend the night and this was it. The owner was wonderful, the room was ready for us and our personal key codes were already entered in the locks. The shared bathroom and kitchen were modern and clean. We would definitely stay here again."
