Peaceful serenity
Pros:

Staying at the Brewster Inn makes me feel more like I’m staying at a rich relatives house lol

The setting, is absolutely beautiful along the lake. The main house gives great character. I feel like there is one thousand stories to be told, when I look inside and the carriage house where I stayed is beautifully done with very spacious and quiet rooms.

Beautiful space, disappointing breakfast
Pros:

Only reason for not getting full stars - the breakfast was extremely subpar even for continental. I've been to mid tier motels/hotels where the included continental is serve yourself hot food, waffle maker, etc. The options at this inn were minimal and not of great quality. It was also set up in a small area that was difficult to manage when other guests came in. I expected much better, especially when they have a full restaurant kitchen in house. This definitely needs to be improved, really not acceptable for this special of a location and the price to stay there. Almost makes me rate 3 stars.
Otherwise, the place is beautiful. Our room was in the carriage home, second floor with cathedral ceilings and original exposed beams. It was huge, clean, and felt luxurious. Dinner at the in house restaurant was delicious, our server was great, and we had a perfect spot on the patio to watch the sunset over the lake. Would be appreciated if guests of the inn received even a 5% discount for meals considering most of the people that ate there were not actually staying at the inn.

Pros:

We enjoyed Brester Inn's preserved style from early 1900's. Hotel's surrounding area was gorgeous including the lake side as well as beautiful parklike walkways. Rooms were large and very clean. Our room was cleaned very day. Morning breakfast included many different selections. Hotel's staff was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant and bar was very good. The only one thing we would ask for would be softer bed pillows. The pillows we had were very hard and too thick for comfortable sleep.
We would recomment Brewster Inn to our friends.

Pros:

I love old homes that feel cozy and yet spacious. The Inn was also decorated for Christmas so that added to the warmth and cozy feel as well. Loved that every time we walked in the front door the wonderful smells from the kitchen were filling the air. Our room didn't overlook the lake, but the trees in front were still nice. The room had the requested roll away all made up for us which was great. My husband wanted for a larger toilet and I would have liked a sitting chair in our room. Since it was cold the outdoor seating by the lake wasn't available. I felt a little wanting of a place besides the restaurant to sit and read and look at the lake. Minor things really, We had a wonderful stay.
