Most guest rooms in this luxurious 1833 Federal-style brick inn have balconies with lake views; some have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. Furnishings are a rich and historically appropriate mix of antiques and reproductions. Paintings and Oriental rugs outfit the common rooms downstairs. Modern amenities include flat-screen TVs, Bose CD players, Frette linens, terry robes, and marble bathrooms. The restaurant serves elegant American fare.
Under the same management as the Aurora Inn and less than a half mile up the road, the E. B. Morgan House is equally as impressive and has many of the same luxurious amenities (terry robes, Frette linens). The lakefront 1858 Italianate mansion is filled with a mix of tasteful modern, reproduction, and antique pieces. Three rooms have carved-wood four-poster beds. All rooms have marble baths. A full breakfast is available at the Aurora Inn May–October; the on-site Continental breakfast includes a hot entrée and fresh muffins or scones.
