The exterior of the hotel is very nice. The fireplace and common area is really nice and welcoming. Staff is great. Rooms are dated and walls definitely need some soundproofing. Overall it was a good stay, will consider coming back in the summer. The surrounding area is beautiful and fun.
The hotel was beautiful and cozy for Christmas. We loved the s’mores by the fire and great view of the lake. The bathroom door in the room was weird though and did not close.
Great property with great rooms and beautiful views. This was our third visit and it is always a great experience.

Room was clean, facilities and grounds were clean. We were there on Christmas Day and the restaurants were closed (so was everything else in town), but they brought in prepared meals that you could microwave. That was a considerate touch. All the staff was great. Love the upper and lower lobbies and the fireplace.
Staff very friendly. We did not use breakfast as it started too late for us.

First of all, everyone was friendly from the moment we arrived. Our room was clean and fresh and comfortable and those were the most soft pillows I have ever used. The grounds were clean and comfortable. They had marshmallows s'mores outside at night for families I felt really safe. I really do like this place and I will be returning. I have nothing bad to say. I really enjoyed myself. I wish I could have stayed another night
Staff was excellent. Hotel serves no breakfast,a dissapointment. Mattress was excellent. Elegant restaurant for dinner on site. Facility is showing its age. TV was excellent.
Room was spotless. Bed was okay. Didn’t get any benefit from resort fee. Would have been nice to sit by fire pit or enjoy the full moon over the lake. Dinner at their restaurant was excellent!
