Colonial Inn

We stayed here in late May, on a Thursday night. Part of the "hotel" is sprinkled among the small shops in the "village", so your view could be of a overflowing (in a good way) shop. We stayed in the Barn, which was a newer structure, and not in the village proper. The room was nicely decorated, like a cabin in Maine (think moose). It has a nice porch. Shower and bed were great, room size was good. In the morning, you pick up muffins, yogurt and coffee in a basket that you can take to your room, or porch, or eat at tables near the pond. The shops closed at 6pm and the two restaurants close around 8pm, leaving the place pretty quiet. It felt like you had the "village" to yourself. Overall, this was a very nice experience. I suspect that it's more crowded on weekends, or in the middle of summer.

My girlfriend and I just spent a lovely 3 days at The Colonial inn. We had one of the higher end rooms, complete with a steam bath and a double soaking tub. The sleeping area (king bed) offered an excellent view of the lake which, at this time of year, included a nightly light and sound show. The staff was very friendly and always offered us coffee/tea/hot cocoa as we were leaving to wander the shopping area (most welcome on those cold winter days). My only knock would be the absence of parking spaces reserved for Inn guests. We are both seniors and a closer space would have meant less lugging of the bags. This having been said, we will be back

We spent a nice, romantic weekend in Smithville and stayed in The Barn @ The Colonial Inn. Town is super cute with all of its little shops, and the Colonial Inn is nestled right in the center. Our Barn room (#304) was spacious with colonial decor. We would definitely try to stay in one of the Village Rooms for our next stay, as these rooms are scattered throughout the village. Highly recommend the Colonial Inn for a romantic weekend, girls weekend or even a family weekend.

Each room has its own personality. Most rooms have outdoor seating areas where you can enjoy some takeout or a bottle of wine. The staff are very nice. The continental breakfast is light - coffee, juice, yogurt, and a muffin, but they offer complimentary tea/coffee and snacks throughout the day. The rooms reserved for couples are near the shops while the rooms for families with children are across the parking lot, so the area is very quiet at night.

Stayed in village room 209. What a beautiful room! So spacious and comfortable! Loved looking out onto the village shops from our room. Staff is amazing. You really do need to experience the colonial inn. This is truly my happy place❤️
