About this Vacation
Gather with family, friends, or coworkers to enjoy peaceful spring days, reserving any one of our 17, historic guest rooms, each with a private bathroom. In summer, swim in pristine Kezar Lake, explore with boats and bikes for guest use, or stroll or lounge lakeside. In autumn, sit porchside and drink in the blaze of color embracing the hills surrounding Kezar Lake. And warm up to winter using the Inn’s complimentary snowshoes, or skate, ski, or just relax by one of the fires in our lovely common areas. Guests start every Follansbee morning with an exquisite, homemade hot breakfast, crafted by owner, chef, and New Orleans native, Denis Swords.
