We quit the corporate world to turn around this 1940’s inn since February 2021, working to create a throwback lake cottage aesthetic and implement more sustainable business practices. The rustic nature of Anchor Inn is part of its charm, but it’s not for everyone. The doors are tricky, the 80 year old windows are far from energy efficient, and the cedar trees provide a constant cool dampness. The size of our tight bathrooms haven't changed since the 40s. We decorate the rooms with vintage & antique finds, mostly to fuel our addiction to buying cool stuff! Walk out your door and across the street to the lake! All beach chairs, kayaks, charcoal, marshmallow roasting sticks & firewood are included in your stay. Nothing makes us happier than guests making new friends around the firepit.
