The building that houses the Lakeside Lodge and Grille was
built for
the general manager of the Wells House hotel in 1904. It became the
home of F.R.Smith, who built his famous Smith Rowboats for the Sagamore
Hotel in the barn behind the house. He moved his boatworks to its
current locaction on the Sagamore Road.
The building was opened as the Lakeside Lodge in 1945 by the Keating
family. The Scott family opened their restaurant The House of Scotts in
1972. In 2006, Art and Nicole Baker bought and opened the restaurant,
returning it to its former name, the Lakeside Lodge.
Our menu cover showcases a photograph from the Lakeside Lodge's past. Friends of the Keating family, the Kneeshaw girls posed for this picture and love the new Lakeside!
