The History of the Inn
Ever since horse buggies visited the Clifford Lake Hotel, guests have enjoyed the charm of the area. The Inn has weathered many storms and has been in operation through many major events that have shaped our wonderful country since its beginning in 1881. The Inn welcomed travelers when cars and televisions were introduced. Guests were sitting around the Hotel discussing the

World Wars, presidents’ assassinations, and men walking on the moon. The inn has survived the Great Depression, a huge fire, and years of neglect. Regardless of the situation, the Inn has always opened its doors to welcome guests and bring warm smiles to their faces. We hope you enjoy your visit to the Inn and that you feel the warmth and love that has kept this old building running for over 135 years. Thank you for coming!

IN HONOR OF DOLLY PARTON 😌

This weekend, we raise a glass to a woman whose heart was every bit as beautiful as her spirit.

Dolly reminded us that kindness costs nothing, that we should lift others up, and that even a little light can make a difference.

She once said, “If you see someone without a smile, give them yours.”

So this weekend, as we enjoy our Cup of Ambition, we invite you to do a little more of what Dolly taught us….

be kind, be generous, make someone smile, and leave people a little better than you found them. 🙏

Here’s to a true Queen of Country.

Cheers to Dolly. 💕🦋✨
