Lenhart Hotel, Bemus Point

My mother, sisters, daughter and I have been going every summer for years now. That"s how much we enjoy the views, the many little shops and the hotel itself. The time flies, even without the TV and phones in the rooms, not to mention no internet. It is a very relaxing atmosphere which is one of the main reasons we go. It is also a great deal price wise.The only thing different that we didn't like was having no more dinners served at the hotel. Their dinners were one of the best features of the hotel, and having to leave to find somewhere else to eat was not as much fun. We didn't find any place close by that compared to the dinners they used to serve. If they would bring back their terrific dinners again, it would be perfect!

I've been going to the Hotel Lenhart with my husbands family for over 7 years now and each time it gets better and better. We took our daughter there for the 1st time last year and she had a wonderful time, sitting on the front porch. We also had a room right off the front porch which made it nice for us so we could check in on her while she slept. The food is wonderful, the service is excellent and no one in our family had any complaints. We will forever and always be coming back until the Hotel Lenhart is no longer. Thank you for making many memories for me and my family to share and talk about

Absolutely charming! If you enjoy thinking about how things used to be, then this is the place for you. What a deal, too. Price includes breakfast and dinner. Most enjoyable is sitting on the huge front porch and rocking the afternoon away...watching the boats and the unending string of people walking by...it was very entertaining! Add a nice cool drink from the bar and you can't lose. My complaints are few....climbing the stairs wasn't my favorite part and although the food was plentiful with a good variety, it just didn't hit the mark. Definitely will go back, it was very nice.

It took us back a century - it was relaxing and charming - fun rockin' on the porch - comfy bar and excellent food and service, at a good price - not far from the Institute - - some 2007 amendities missing but it's ambiance overcame that for us, and gave us a history lesson

Eventually on a good night out you'll make it to this place. This bar is ok.

My wife and I had a great time at the Lenhart. Nice old hotel, great service, great location. THe View from the front porch is awsome!

We stayed 2 nights and there was a wedding group staying as well. Everyone from the wedding got so drunk and caused much noise and commotion the entire night. There are no phones in the bedrooms and once an argument broke out and one guy mentioned a gun and was going to shoot everyone, we freaked!!! I would find other accommodations. The night clerk was no where to be found.

It has so much character and is old fashion. Right on the water with a great view of the sunset. Very relaxing place to get away from it all.

If you want plush- this isn't the place for you but it is full of nastalgia and the food is good. We rented a Pontoon boat for the day and the little Village there is wonderful. We love having a glass of wine on the porch while sitting in the big wooden rocking chairs. Love it - planning the next visit. Oh yeah.. breakfast and dinner INCLUDED ;) No AC there, but the breeze from the lake is a big help.... might want to plan it accordingly.

My wife and I have stayed in many historic inns and B&B's, so we know what to expect. Unfortunately, the Hotel Lenhart just doesn't deliver even basic cleanliness. Yes it has a great location, right on the water and is quite charming to look at, but the rooms are a different story. We stayed in one of the most expensive rooms with a water view and in room bathroom. The room was full of cobwebs, spiders and other assorted bugs. And not just a few, we had spiders literally crawling all over us during each night (we stayed 3). The bathroom above leaked a lot of water (who knows if it was "clean" water) down into our room. The water pressure was ridiculously low and they would run out of hot water. The only towels they provide are hand towels. There was no AC and the temperature in the rooms must have been over 90 degrees day and night. All this for the bargin price of $138 plus tax PRE-season. As an added bonus they overcharged me $100. This sounds like a disaster report. But let me say, we were staying there for a wedding with friends in about 30 other rooms who ALL had similar problems (and worse!). If you would like to experience the charm (and hardships) of life in 1880 (the date of the hotel's construction), then the Hotel Lenhart is for you. Otherwise, I would recommend extreme caution.
