The Margate has been in operation since 1952. A lot has taken place over the years. Part of its charm and allure to the thousands of guests who love the property is its location directly on the lake. We offer something for everyone and pricing to accommodate varied budgets. We have a 3 story lakefront building located directly on the...

We are sorry if you were not satisfied with your stay. We do “refresh” the guestrooms regularly, as well as replacing mattresses on a scheduled basis.

We agree…The Margate is a location that can't be beat! We greatly appreciate your kind comments and are pleased to advise you that plans are underway for a complete lobby/bistro/front desk renovation over the winter. Guest rooms are refurbished on a regular basis and are on our list to be re-done soon. Thanks again.

Whenever possible we make every effort to accommodate our guests who would like to check in early. The problem we encounter during peak season is guests check out at 11am and sometimes even stay in the room later. We customarily have 141 guest rooms to clean.
