Stephanie Inn & Dining Room

"We've been coming here for about 24 years. I will say I'm disappointed that they have gotten rid of the jetted tubs. The self-serve ice machine broke down, and now you have to ask. Also, the breakfast is included with the price, but now they leave a receipt so you can leave a tip. It feels more like the hands are out for tips and more money. Staff is nice, and the Inn is kept clean"

"We had a wonderful stay! The hotel and location are beautiful. And the staff were able to accommodate all our requests."

"We were very late trying to find something for dinner on New Years. Lucked out and got a table for 4. It was an amazing dinning experience. Everything was great, food, wine, and service. We are very grateful for the whole experience."

"This was our 6th visit to Stephanie Inn over 10 years and the most special visit of all as were married there this Dec 2023! We truly enjoyed our December visit to the newly remodeled Stephanie Inn! We thought it was really nice before the remodel and we were afraid to go back as we thought it might lose its coziness, but it did not disappoint - cozy factor still in place and upgrades to furniture are gorgeous and comfy! Hospitality of staff is still fantastic! My review is two parts for our stay and our wedding. Hotel Review: Stephanie Inn staff always makes us feel so welcome from the moment we arrive. They made sure to keep all the extra's such as free hot breakfast, cookies/scones coffee & tea in lobby, happy hour with what I noticed to be enhanced warm appetizers and the nightcap are still in place, - homemade limoncello was delicious! The daily housekeeping, nightly turndown service with chocolates, and arrival gift box with local treats is still there. They even added steamers to each room, and they still have the memory foam Temper-Pedic mattresses. They removed the DVD players in place of an upgraded TVs and added HBO and a screencast option to access your apps. I could go on, but better to leave some surprises. All the traditions that make Stephanie Inn unique are still in place and then some! Wedding Review: We are in our 50’s so we wanted a small more initimate ceremony. Our wedding was only 10 people (including us) coordinated by the lovely Kate Sellem of Stephanie Inn who is delightful to work with and highly professional! I’ve been a corporate event manager for over 15 years and can honestly say Kate didn't miss a single event detail! Everything was perfectly planned from the billing to the intros of the vendors (officiant, photographer, florist) to the wedding itself, all seamlessly planned. We had our ceremony outside the Carriage House on the knoll where they provided seating with umbrellas due to misty light rain. Then we held a nice reception in the Carriage House Suite afterwards with cake, champagne and Hors d'oeuvres, the room fit 10 people well, they even brough in another table and chairs for seating. They offered to do the wedding/reception inside the library of the main Inn, but we wanted something more private, so the Carriage House Suite/Knoll option worked perfectly! We also hosted a group wine paring dinner for our guests that evening in the restaurant which was beautifully organized by the restaurant staff and chef Aaron! It was so nice to not have to worry about organizing these details and vendors as Kate did it all for us! The platinum elopement package is well worth the price and includes everything you could think of. She was able to adjust some things to the package that we didn’t want in place of other things so very flexible! It’s also nice only having to work with one person. If you are looking for a small intimate wedding with a few close family or friends, this is a wonderful option. They even set up a nice evening bonfire on the beach for our group the next day, which was such a unique experience and one of the highlights -next to the wedding of course! For those who have visited the Stephanie Inn, I don't have to tell you how good the breakfast is and after the remodel it almost seems even better! Chef Aaron went the extra mile for our group reception requests, plus due to some food allergies he accommodated our dinner menu requests too. While I have seen a couple reviews on the portion sizes being smaller in the restaurant for wine pairing, we all thought the entrees were ample for a four-course meal so maybe they have adjusted portions since past reviews. Very delicious plus they swapped out wine for beer/mixers for our friends who were not wine drinkers. In summary we really thought everything was perfect for our entire stay and the wedding! Kudos to Kate and all the Stephanie Inn staff for making our wedding day so memorable and one that we will never forget! Thank you for your hospitality! We can’t wait to return for our anniversary!"

"Well well..... What a lovely surprise. It's been a few years since I've been back and was so pleased to see the new remodel! The designers have done an excellent job of reworking the space in a clean, minimal and comforting aesthetic.... It's much more sophisticated than what I remember from before... A handful of excellent added amenities, await you upon check-in, as well as in your room... Too many to mention here but take full advantage of everything they are offering.. Customer service was on point and everyone went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable.. A considerable upgrade from the last time I was here. Every detail has been carefully chosen and understated elegance and consistent service seem to be the calling of the day... Was so impressed with the changes and thrilled to be here right after the new upgrades.... They must have hired an entire new staff because they have all been very well trained and know how to speak to guests in the right tone... Some very minor suggestions. I would find a way to add softener to the towels in the bathroom so they are not so rough.. if possible, I would ask housekeeping to try to keep the noise levels down during the day when they are cleaning and moving throughout the building for those of us who are trying to take mid-afternoon naps or relax quietly...... For example, housekeeping could try not to slam doors or talk too loudly when they are walking through the hallways... And lastly, the only small disappointment was the priced fixed dinner in the main restaurant. While the flavors were lovely and it was beautifully choreographed, I would not go back and do that four course dinner again considering how expensive it was. The serving sizes are incredibly small, especially the protein sizes which were not enough to fill either one of us... For $100, I was expecting much larger portion sizes in the proteins and vegetables..... It was a little too precious and pretentious... We are both foodies but this felt a little like they were trying to hard to impress instead of letting the food speak for itself... All the courses were extremely small except for the bread... But that won't keep me from coming back again and staying at the hotel. I'll just go elsewhere for dinner Kudos to the owners and staff of the hotel for their excellent service"
