Inn by the Lake

Culver graduation was fantasitic and so proud of my nieces. The only frustration was a horrible stay at the Inn by the Lake. It was not clean and the owner was rude to my children. The biggest thing was the noise– it should be called the «Inn by the Gravel Parking Lot». Next to the property is a gravel utility lot and extremely noisy and disrupted my families sleep throughout the night. I must have stayed at a different location than the 3 reviews I read online– great place to stay if you want to be grossly overcharged and have a horrible 2 nights sleep. We stayed at the Cove the remainder of graduation and well worth the extra money for more room and lakefront and awesome night sleep.

This is my favorite place to stay in Culver in any season. Close to the academy and the lake, it is the perfect place to relax with the family. The rooms are cozy small, but we have never had a problem with that, as the inn keepers let you hang out in the lounge, on the porch and in the breakfast room so we always have plenty of space. And with free wi-​fi and late night access to homemade cheesecake, we are in heaven.
And how to even describe the breakfasts. Simply the best ever. Think of your grandma if she read a lot of gourmet magazines and always offered four or five options for breakfast. We’re talking apple-​blackberry pancakes, spinach feta quiche, Mexican omelets, yogurt parfaits, pastries, fruit salad, toast station, bacon and sausage – and this would be for one breakfast!!! We always leave feeling spoiled.
If you have a kid at the academy, this is the best place to mother them when you visit as it is so homey and relaxed and you can ask to have access to the kitchen.
The Inn also sometimes hosts wine and cheese evenings on the porch so you can mingle with the other guests. We enjoyed our last one of these so much.
I can’t stress enough what a good place to stay this is!

Absolutely wonderful place! The breakfasts are delectable and large. The owners make you feel so welcome and loved.
