Parks Canada describes the hotel as having been built as a fishing lodge in a period when excursion steamers operated along the canal.

[1] The hotel was built in 1888, on the site of an earlier building which had been destroyed in a fire.

The hotel was owned by members of the Kenney family for many years.

In 2008, Franklin Folts, a clothing store owner and resident of Martha's Vineyard, bought the hotel at an auction.
