Although the Lake Ontario Motel dates to 1990, the structure that houses the guest rooms has a much longer history. The structure began as a barn in the the mid-19th century. The farmhouse which still stands next door was built in 1842. During its first 100-odd years of existence, the building served many purposes, including: use as a grainery, farm market, and even as a horse stable!
After the accompanying farm land was sold off in the late 1980's, the Toenniessen family purchased the barn and adjacent home with the idea of bringing quality accomodations to the town of Newfane. As part of the renovations, all the interior structures were removed, including a loft and dividing walls.
A new foundation was poured under most of the structure, and a completely new, modern interior was constructed. All renovations were made with an eye toward comfort and accessibility for all guests. The first three rooms were opened for occupancy in 1991, followed by 3 additional rooms in 1992. The next few years saw the completion of the second floor guest rooms.
The Toenniessens are continually striving to add to the amenities offered at the Inn; a large shaded deck, gardens and barbecue pit were added in 1996.
Looking upwards toward the cathedral ceiling in the recreation area, you will see the exposed original hand hewn beams which demonstrate the quality of 19th century craftsmanship. As you walk through the modern front doorway, notice the sliding barn doors on either side. They mark the original entrance to the barn, and are still fully functional!
The motel currently houses 11 modern guest rooms, and a centrally located recreation room. The rec area features a host of complimentary gaming equipment, including: card and parlor game tables, and a pool table. Guests are also welcome to take advantage of the sun porch surrounded by flower gardens which are in bloom all season. A barbecue pit is located near the deck, a necessity for enjoying your fresh catch, or a hot dog roast!
