We had dinner with friends at the restaurant at the Garfield Inn this past Saturday night (10/9/2010). The food was certainly not worth the price. My wife described her ravioli as tasteless. My steak was way overdone and pretty flavorless too (all I could taste was the onions and sauce). While the dining rooms are nicely decorated, the quality of... More

Charming victorian house previously owned by President Garfield and turned in to B&B with functioning bar in the lower floor. Our room was well appointed (C.G. Room) with private bath and deep clawfoot tub. Stayed two nights, with the first night spent with locals and other travelers frequenting the Gardfield Restaurant and bar. We unfortunately followed the advice of a... More

From making the reservation to checking out, the owner and staff were great. What you see on the website is exactly what you get. A wonderful place and a great location by the lake. Every attention to detail was shown in the rooms. Definitely a place to return to. More

We booked a room at the Garfield in based on website searches, and we were very happy with the choice--it was nicer than anything else we saw in the area, and it was very clean. The building was lovely and interesting, and the room was more than comfortable. We also decided to dine at the inn, which was well worth... More

Reservation process was very pleasant and friendly. Everything was just as expected upon our arrival. Rooms were immaculately clean, furnishings in excellent condition. We ate in the restaurant and found not only a good variety from which to select, but the food was excellent as well. The people were not only couteous but made you feel welcome and at home.... More

We did not stay overnight at the Garfield Inn. We had considered it, but their prices are much too high for this area, and for what you get. It is a beautiful home, with a wonderful outdoor garden area, and the people working there are friendly. However, the prices absolutely do not match their online rates, at all. And that... More

We stopped at the Garfield Inn to consider staying overnight Oct 24th which I would consider off season. We stood in the bar area 5 minutes before someone showed up to greet us. The rooms are nice enough but only 2 have true private baths, one room you have to walk through the hallway to access your private bath. The... More

Web site prices do not reflect actual prices. I left three messages on their phone (Tues, Wed and Fri afternoon). They finally called back and told me that their room rates were $175/$165/$135. Quite a jump from $89/$99/$120!! We ended up staying somewhere else =\ More

Dinners are special, as is the Sunday brunch. I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying the food! Historical setting; scenic. More
