Frommer's Review

This is the original and still my favorite of the Gustavus full-service inns. By objective standards of modern luxury, imitators have surpassed the old homestead farmhouse, but no one could duplicate the extraordinary hospitality of the Lesh family, honed over 40 years of running the inn. Dave and JoAnn know how to make guests feel immediately a part of the place. The site is unsurpassed, too, standing at the center of the community amid blowing grass and with a huge vegetable garden that provides much of the dining room's wonderful food. Dave, the chef, has published a cookbook and his ginger sablefish is now widely copied. The seasonings he uses on seafood are a revelation. He serves big, inexhaustible platters in the dining room, where there's also a beer and wine bar and sushi appetizers. Before going, talk over what you want to do with JoAnn, Dave, or Dave's father, Jack, and let them book everything.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bike loan; courtesy car; laundry service; Wi-Fi; fishing rods (bring your own tackle)
