The accommodations were nice. Great view of the lake. The only complaint is that both nights we were there (a Thursday and Friday), the restaurant had parties that were very loud. If you want a quiet place to sit on your deck and enjoy the beautiful sunset, this wouldn’t be a good option. The people were loud, taking pictures on the dock, leaving their empty drink glasses everywhere. We finally went in and closed the patio door because it was too much. The Inn can’t control that, but just something to be aware of if you want a quiet place to enjoy getting away.

Unfortunately the property did not match the pictures or description on the web site. Room was very dated... small wicker sofa had no support to sit in it. Many stains and worn carpet. Leak under tub. Outside many long overdue repairs needed. Stairway showing sign of rotting wood. Front desk staff lady was very pleasant and helpful.

Since we pre-paid we could cancel. We stayed on night and ended up move for the 2nd and 3rd night to a nearby modern hotel.

On site restaurant 2 stars. My wife's halibut was so dried out hard to eat.

A charming historic hotel with pretty decor and lake views; a classic lakeshore location with patios, small beach, and boat rentals (also an outdoor pool); an onsite restaurant with lake views; a coffee shop; and helpful, welcoming staff. This older building has been updated in most ways, though our air conditioner wasn’t top notch and exterior stairs need paint. But our room was clean and pleasant, with comfortable bedding.

It was run down a bit but had some charm. Room was clean but tub was a jacuzzi tub with holes where jets use to be. The restaurant “getaway” was excellent and had lots of charm. Deck to view lake como could use some clean up but cannot avoid birds and I guess bird poop but could be cleaned up a bit.

The views of the Lake and the close proximity of the restaurant saved this whole trip. It is a very nice and clean property but there were a couple things that fell short.

1.Water Pressure for showers, not enough pressure to distribute water and you could hear when the other units were trying to have a shower as well.

2.The thin walls, I could hear the unit next door to me when they had their tv on. Not really rest and relaxation

3.Lack of small light, there is neither a clock or lamp in the unit meaning that a ridiculous amount of light is on when you don't need it.

I would recommend for a one night stay as opposed to a multi day stay

Noisy - Room needs a white noise machine. You can hear conversations from other rooms and people coming back late at night. Night light or dimmer switches - This room needs a night light or dimmer switches. Brought my elderly mother and sister with me and they needed access to the bathroom at night. We had to leave the bedroom door open with the full light on because there was no other dim light available. You couldn’t leave the door ajar slightly because it wouldn’t stay still. You had to leave it fully open which was too much light. Heat - It was hard to control the heat in the room between the fireplace and the heater. The heater wouldn’t provide enough heat at night. And, the fireplace left the room too hot. There isn’t a control for the fireplace. Family wasn’t able to sleep the whole night. Refund - was planning to stay 2 nights. I had asked for a refund for the second day since there was an incoming snowstorm warning on the WeatherChannel where 6-10 inches of snow would be expected the next day. The second night would have cost around $280 and the manager denied the request for the full refund. Only got $100 back which is not even half of the cost of what would be the cost of the second night. This is not the way to keep customers coming back to your property especially when you know that there is incoming dangerous weather coming the next day. Not booking with Expedia again since their loyalty is to the property and not the customer.

Great little spot, but Definitely not a spa

The area was absolutely beautiful!!!! The amenities, not so much. The \"spa tub\" was not operational. I first noticed there was no bath tub stopper. I alerted the attendant. They said they would try to locate it. They told me they were not able to find one that fit. The next morning i realized that the knob to turn on the jets was painted shut. The beautiful fire place in the room was not operational as well. The view was amazing and the restaurant and bar being 20 feet away was perfect. Great little get away minus the amenities not being functional.

This property had a great waterfront balcony with a view. It was quiet when we were there and we enjoyed our stay and would return. The room was spacious and clean. The beds were a little soft but not bad for a couple nights. I was not crazy about the food or drinks at the restaurant. We had pasta dishes and they were just ok for us. The drinks we had were $14 each and really sweet so would probably skip the restaurant next time. The pool was great, it went up to 9ft deep and we enjoyed our time at the pool. The little beach area had kayaks, paddle boards and water bikes for you to use which although we didn’t have time, I loved that they offered this!

Warning to anyone wanting to book this property on Expedia! We paid an average of $550/night, and Expedia only paid the hotel $319/night! It might not have hurt as badly if we had had a better experience. Everywhere you go, you see things in disrepair. Paint chipping on the outside railings, on the steps and on the furniture in the room. Worn-out rug in front of the main entrance. Both lampshades in our room had holes in them. The screen door barely closed and needed to be replaced. The air conditioner was extremely loud. The floor of the restaurant was filthy, and I had to ask for some napkins to clean off the spider webs next to our table on the balcony. Plus the service was poor.The Expedia listing said we got free breakfast. All we got was $10 vouchers for the first day which barely covered half of the cost of breakfast. We never got our room cleaned because apparently you have to put a sign out which we were not told about. We were later told this was because of the COVID pandemic which,BTW, officially ended more than two years ago! When I called at 3:30 asking to have the room serviced they said the maids left at 4:00, but still never sent anyone to clean the room.
I will say the location is great and the view of Lake Como from the room was beautiful, but not worth it at any price. When I spoke to the manager after our stay, he was pleasant and very apologetic, but the best he could offer would be a free one-night stay. And WHY would we possibly want to go back??

Room was very dated and lots of things broken or old. Does not appear this way in pictures, very deceiving.
Also, the pool was taken over by the entire family of one of the staff…very uncomfortable situation.
Wound up leaving a day early.
Tried calling and e-mailing management.
Never got a response.
I would definitely stay away from this place. Especially for the money they charge. It’s absurd.

This property is an old motel that they are remodeling into a cute, more modern lake spot. We got one of the old rooms that had not been remodeled. The air conditioner was extremely loud and would turn off and on. The balcony is a communal balcony that you share with all your neighbors (not ideal). And the water spits out at you due to the inconsistent water pressure. But the worst part was that we had small bugs on our room. We asked to be moved to another room which the staff resisted at first but finally moved us. Our second room was remodeled and much nicer and no bugs!! Overall, it was not even close to worth the $550 a night we paid.

We were attending a wedding at Geneva National, so it was very convenient. But particularly for the whopping $650 we paid, it was VERY underwhelming. Pretty old, and the smoke alarm went off when using a hair straightener! Ceiling fan was very rickety, noisy all night but needed because it was quite hot.

If you’re booking a stay at the French Country Inn based on the photos, prepare yourself for a rude awakening—and perhaps a tetanus shot.

What’s advertised as a “quaint lakeside retreat” is, in reality, a dilapidated property. The photos on the website are not just outdated—they’re borderline fraudulent. The rooms look nothing like the filtered, soft-lit marketing images. Instead, think stained carpeting, holes in walls, and bathrooms that feel like they haven’t seen a deep clean or renovation since the Reagan administration.

The property itself is in desperate need of maintenance. Peeling paint and bird poop on the stairs, piles of dead bugs along the outside walls make the entire inn feel like it’s been abandoned and reinhabited by someone with no sense of hospitality.

Bottom line: The French Country Inn is a textbook case of style over substance. We ended up switching accommodations and spending extra out of pocket because it was so gross.
