10/10 Excellent
"The location is perfect, sitting right on Black Lake. A great view and wonderful spot for our nightly fires and star-gazing. The building has quite a bit of nostalgia for our Gen X group, reminding us how motels used to be years ago. The kitchen area was big enough for our group when we wanted to be together indoors, and the covered area outside was very large as well. All around a great location and when we are in the area in the future, we will surely be looking to stay here again!"
