Unique Vegan Experience

During my stay, I was blown away by the fantastic vegan food served at Ravens restaurant. As a family that enjoys healthy eating, we were all impressed by the delicious and varied breakfast options, especially the buckwheat waffles! Even though we aren't vegan, everyone in our group loved the meals and the commitment to sustainability. It was a refreshing twist on dining!

Relaxing Pool Retreat

I absolutely adored the warm pool housed in its greenhouse-like structure. It was a beautiful setting surrounded by tropical flowers. After a day of exploring, it was the perfect place to unwind. I also appreciated the hot tub and sauna, which made the whole experience even more relaxing and enjoyable!

Cozy and Comfortable

The room we stayed in felt like a rustic cabin with all the luxury needed for a perfect getaway. The wood burning fireplace added a cozy touch during our stay, and the comfortable bedding made it easy to relax after a long day. I loved the attention to detail in making the room both enchanting and functional.

Outdoor Adventures

Being able to rent bikes and canoes right at the Inn was a highlight of our trip. The bike ride along the scenic trails by the Big River was invigorating, and canoeing allowed us to connect with nature in a truly nice way. It was exhilarating to explore the area actively, and I can't wait to do it again!

My stay at the Stanford Inn by the Sea was an unforgettable experience full of comfort and relaxation. The property is beautifully maintained with lush gardens and cozy rooms, complete with wood-burning fireplaces. The dining at Ravens Restaurant was delicious and innovative, though I found the staff at the front desk occasionally unhelpful. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for nature lovers and those looking for a peaceful getaway, but some areas could use a bit more attention.
