    The Inn At Windmere is a beautifully renovated 1910 country home just 3 miles off I-69 that offers six lovely guest rooms with private baths, 5 with king beds. The peaceful, elegant setting makes it a favorite place for a romantic getaway, while the convenient location and affordable price offer it as a good choice for travelers passing through. The Inn has 2 large rooms with all the amenities needed for scrapbooking or quilting weekends, business meetings or church retreats. Indoors are cozy fireplaces, grand piano, home gym, ping pong, and free wi-fi, while outdoors one can swing on the wrap-around porch, stroll around the beautiful gardens, take in a sunset from the gazebo, or enjoy a s-more at the firepit. The Inn At Windmere is close to the World War II and car museums for which Auburn is famous, numerous quaint shops in downtown Auburn, and many other attractions that will give anyone a pleasureable visit. Our goal at the Inn is to meet the needs of each guest so they can leave feeling refreshed and pampered--that they have experienced a true get-away.

    Scrapbooking retreat April 2013

    April 23, 2013

    Myself along with 4 of my friends stayed here this past weekend for a scrapbooking retreat and we had the most amazing time! All 5 of us found ourselves saying all weekend how everything was perfect and they didn't miss a thing! Susie makes the most amazing popcorn which kept us snacking in between our pages. The meals were wonderful, and Paul and Susie were wonderful hosts!! We can't wait to book our trip for next year and I am getting ready to book a romantic weekend with my husband. I highly recommend staying here if just for a weekend for two or for a big event with friends!

    Total Relaxation!

    February 25, 2013

    I was one in a group of 7 scrapbookers. We had a great time. The space allotted each of us was more than adequate. The food was awesome. Mr. and Mrs. Rexroth were the perfect hosts. They anticipated our needs and were very personable. They are great cooks too! It's all about the food right? We met three of their children who were so warm and friendly. We even got a mini concert on the Harp from Elizabeth! We did not want for anything! I would highly recommend this as a destination.

    Relaxing Hospitality

    February 24, 2013

    I cannot begin to say enough good things about our stay. Our scrapbooking group was greated by Paul and Susie who helped carry our things in, gave us a tour of their wonderful home. We got settled in and got scrapping. There were snacks and beverages available for us immediately. The Inn was very clean. We had robes available for each of us. Their daughter played the harp. The food was wonderful. And if you go, I really hope you get to try the chocolate cherry almond cake, oh my!! I could go on and on... but you really must go and discover for yourself! We enjoyed our visit so much, we have already rebooked and some of us are even coming back with our spouses over the summer. Thank you Paul and Susie for your wonderful hospitality.

    Beyond Our Expectations!

    January 27, 2013

    Our quilting group was looking for a new venue for our winter retreat and chose the Inn at Windmere based on their website. We could not have found a better place! The hosts were so accomodating and helpful. The rooms were impeccible and the meals were over the top! Our "work" area was spacious and well appointed. We cannot wait to return next year!! This would also make a wonderful romantic get-a-way!

    Amazing

    January 22, 2013

    The entire experience of staying at the Inn At Windmere was amazing. I have never felt so pampered and cherished as a guest. Susie and Paul along with their children make you feel comfortable from walking in the door. The rooms were spacious, clean, well appointed and decorated with a fine touch, down to our luxurious towels. Our meals were excellent and perfectly prepared. I am looking forward to our next visit.

    Outstanding B&B Experience!

    January 21, 2013

    We held a retreat for 9 gals on our business team. The goal was to have a location providing the opportunity to retreat, refresh and refocus as we begin a new year. We could not have had a more perfect experience. The innkeepers were so gracious and accommodating. The home was absolutely impeccably beautiful - each room inviting in it's own right. The food was delicious and plentiful. It was unanimously decided we will be returning for other events we will plan for the future! It was a wonderful weekend.
