Fiddle Lake Farm

I visited this venue for two nights for a wedding. The farm itself is beautiful… if you’re up for a completely hands on wedding, then this could be the place for you. It comes with some stuff in it to give it charm but you can still do a ton with it to make it your dream day.
As far as the B&B itself… I was pretty disappointed. I totally understand we didn’t ask for breakfast till 10, but at least either give coffee an hour earlier… or having a coffee machine available so we could have made it ourselves would have been much appreciated. In addition, the in keeper never turned over our room! I totally understand there was a wedding going on, but Pam and Craig just hang around to make sure know one gets hurt and everything goes smoothly. In addition, they have about 3 workers they hire specifically to do any work for the wedding (moving tables, driving the tractor, etc). There really isn’t a reason they couldn’t have taken 30 minutes to at least give us knew towels. This is the first B&B I’ve been to where they have not tidied the room everyday.
Final thought… location. … this place is in the middle of no where. The Best Western is 20 miles away which is a 40 minute drive because it’s all back roads. We had to get out nails done before the wedding and it was a 40 minute drive each way. There also isn’t a place to run out and get stuff so if you do go to this place, make sure you Pack Snacks!

When we went to see Fiddle Lake Farm (FLF) for the first time, about an hour in our minds were pretty much made up. In fact, we never really looked anywhere else. It was love at first sight.
In so many ways, FLF and the folks there, were simply amazing. They went above and beyond. They treated us kindly, and warmly, and opened up their farm to us as if we were in fact family already. Anything we needed, any problems or concerns that arose, they were there to help us figure out. And the farm itself, with it’s handsome farmhouse and weather barns, was gorgeous.
The food they provided was awesome, we couldn’t have been happier. The homes (the farmhouse, and a lake house — both which we rented for our families during the stay), were each decked out with their own, well thought out, often historic touches. They gave off a feeling of warmth and comfort, while feeling rustic and vacation like too.
A gorgeous hilltop view awaits folks at the top of the farm just past the barn, and this is the location we decided we would have our ceremony at. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the choice we made to have it there, not to mention Craig and friends even built the perfect curved arch out of birch trees under which would hold the ceremony.
We didn’t want a wedding where guests had to rush out in four hours, or where we could only pick from a few select caterers. With FLF, we didn’t have to worry about that, as they offered fantastic flexibility, and we were allowed to craft a wedding that really worked for, and felt like, us and our families.
The morning-​after-​brunch was my very favorite part of the whole weekend! With our tired and smiling wedding party recounting the events of the big day while bonding over amazing omelets and fresh fruit, I got to take in my first day of married like surrounded by those I loved. Yet another FLF bonus! Family and friends alike loved the beautiful farm setting and still tell us to this day how much they enjoyed our wedding and how fun it was.
If you want a rustic wedding in the perfect rustic barn setting, then still want more, like the experience of a lifetime, then you need to go check out Fiddle Lake and meet the great people who live there! They were our dream come true and our wedding just wouldn’t have been the same anywhere else.

This was my very first Bed and Breakfast experience and I am sold on the fact that if I ever stay at a B&B outside of Pam and Craig’s care it would pale in comparison. If I could, I would give this duo and their family 10 stars.
WIthin10 minutes of being on the Fiddle Lake Farm property I didn’t want to leave it and in fact was determined to write this review in that instant. However I did not, as It was intended to be a romantic ski trip weekend that could also fulfill my craving for adrenalin. Despite being an adrenalin junkie and it being the first big snowfall of the season, I would have been perfectly content playing board games with my honey there on the farm, or gone cross country skiing through the hilly acreage, or kicking back to learn a thing or two about what it means to live off the grid and give back to the environment from the lovely Pam and Craig.
If you’re looking to pamper yourself or forgot what it meant to relax — hang out at the farm; you’ve found the right place. I can’t wait to return and learn more about the history of the property or better yet, the future of it!

Recently, my husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Fiddle Lake Farm after a friend’s wedding at nearby Fern Hall Inn. Staying at Fiddle Lake Farm for the wedding was the best decision we could’ve made. The Innkeepers, Pam and Craig, run such an amazing Bed & Breakfast that you won’t believe a fantastic stay like this is possible in such an affordable price range.
Fiddle Lake Farm is a restored farmhouse from the 1800s. It’s amazing to me that the owners were able to take this structure from a building with only barn board walls and no electricity or plumbing and turn it into a remarkable home with a Victorian feel, modern amenities and touches of luxury. Such care was taken in the restoration with incredible attention to detail. It’s like staying in a museum, with your knowledgeable guides being the innkeepers who ensure you have the most pleasant experience possible.
In addition to this beautiful home and its amazing and comfortable luxury, the property surrounding the farmhouse is vast and allows for guests to enjoy the great outdoors, including hikes, bike rides, boating (with choices including a rowboat, pedal boat canoe and kayaks) fishing, swimming and more. There is a lake house (also available to rent), but if you are staying at the farmhouse, a dock is reserved for farmhouse guests, so you can enjoy this beautiful attraction of the property. We visited in summer but it’s obvious there is much to do any season — even winter, since they are located right by Elk Mountain.
To make our arrival to and from the wedding seamless, Craig and Pam drove us and the other Fiddle Lake guests to Fern Hill and picked us up after the wedding. Such consideration to go above and beyond for their guests was remarkable. We were able to enjoy the event without fear of getting lost on the way back. Their thoughtfulness to provide this service really showed us how seriously they take their mission of providing incredible hospitality to their guests.
In the morning, Pam served us a delicious organic breakfast of our choice, and we relaxed with other guests from the wedding, who we had just met that weekend but felt like fast friends in this tremendous atmosphere.
In today’s modern age, it is rare to find a location run by such dedicated individuals who love what they do and treat you not only as guests but also like longtime friends. It was our first time in a B&B and it certainly won’t be our last.
If you are going to be in the area, be sure to stay at Fiddle Lake for affordable luxury and an experience you really won’t find anywhere else. Pam and Craig made us feel welcome and invited. I only wish we could’ve arrived sooner and stayed longer. All the more reason for another visit!
p. s. Make sure you try the honey. We are still talking about it and will be raving about it — as well as our stay at Fiddle Lake — for a long time to come!

What originally caught my attention was that this farm is organic. On the website you can see the restored 1820’s farm house that is full of treasures. It’s close to elk mountain and Pam prepared an amazing breakfast before a day of skiing. My expectations were exceeded and we will definitely be back!
