Ripplecove Inn is a lovely getaway with clean, comfortable accommodations and stunning views of the lake. The staff is incredibly warm and attentive, making you feel right at home. However, the dining service could use some improvement, and it's frustrating that the room I booked was not available upon arrival. The setting is picturesque and perfect for relaxation, but be cautious when booking rooms, especially if you have accessibility needs.

Ripplecove Hotel offers a unique blend of cozy charm and modern amenities, making it a wonderful getaway. The staff is attentive and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant experience. While the restaurant has excellent food, the dining options can get repetitive during a longer stay. The rooms are graceful with a lovely view of the lake, though a variety of pillow firmness could improve sleep quality.

I had a wonderful two-day stay at Ripplecove, where the serene setting by Lake Massawippi was the highlight of my visit. The amenities, particularly the dining options, were exceptional, and the overall atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing getaway. My only minor criticism would be the slightly higher prices for meals, but the experience definitely justified the cost.

The property is absolutely beautiful with stunning lake views, but my experience was marred by various service issues that made me feel unwelcome. Although the room itself was lovely, check-in was frustratingly delayed and the attention to pet policies was lacking. Still, I enjoyed the facilities but felt the service didn't match the high price point.
