We stayed in the Thomas room. Very clean but quite noisy with traffic. It would have been nice to have a bigger spot to sit around. The people down stairs from us were very noisy around 1 am and we had someone knock on our door around 2 am. Our beds were comfy but very low to the floor. Easy check in with codes for the keypad. Nice takeaway snacks, if it wasn't for our noisy neighbors I would have given a better rating

Great place to touch down. Handy to have dining right downstairs. Room was nice and met all our needs. Wish it had a TV. I made an assumption about that which I will not do again.

We had a wonderful stay here! The breakfast-to-go package was so kind and thoughtful. The view was stunning. The food in the downstairs restaurant was great! It was awesome not to have a TV in the upstairs unit. They have games available which were fun. The futon bed wasn’t very comfortable for the kids and the floors were not clean but otherwise was a fantastic little place.

The place is beautiful. The property when you enter has a very welcoming look. The best thing was the hassle free checkin. The rooms and the entrance all Have the keypads to put a code and enter. The room and the washroom were both very tidy. And they also had some to go breakfast goodies in the room. The deck outside the common room has a beautiful view of the river! The only issue with our room was the mattress was very soft and was slightly lopsided which made it a little difficult for 2 people to sleep.

Would have preferred a guarantee parking spots rather than going to over flow parking waiting for restaurant guest to leave to get a parking spot - this was the only draw back to the stay.

Lovely get away

Great stay. Room was lovely and the deck with view was great to relax for an evening. Not a fan of non-compostable keurig coffee pods. Breakfast underwhelming but there were some nice local options to make up for it. Restaurant was amazing for supper.

Enjoyed Our Stay

We stayed for 3 nights and found The Fourth Lock to be an excellent choice. We dined one night at the Fourth Lock restaurant and the meal was excellent at a reasonable price. Our host was very friendly and informative as well, giving us travel suggestions. A couple minor nit picks are the bed was a bit too soft and breakfast was not ideal for someone that can't eat much sugar. The view of the lake from the deck was very nice though the road was quite busy.
