This property feels like one of the last standing resorts from its glory days. While it could definitely use some extra upkeep, it wasn’t a bad place to stay at all. The charm and unique location made it feel more like an experience than just a stay. Staff was limited, especially with dining hours, but there were plenty of great food options nearby to make up for it.

There was a wild music conference, but we were put in a part of the hotel that was quiet. We felt nervous when we arrived. The room smelled musty, but appeared clean. The couch was very old and needed replacement. Staff was accomodating.

We stayed here about 25 years ago and loved it. This time it is very dated and kind of run down. Holes on the lampshade, peeling paint in the halls. The staff was very friendly though, and the pool is still nice.

No hot tub, but still very nice w/ great property

Hotel was very clean and the staff (Joe) was great. We were a little bummed that it was advertised as having a hot tub and a heated pool, but it had no hot tub and a chilly pool. The pool was nice, big, and clean though. You could smell fresh paint and there were a few signs mentioning the renovations, none of which were hindering. The property is gorgeous and huge, lake front and my room hand and outside balcony overlooking the lake. Overall very happy and would recommend.

This place should be condemned. Very outdated with a serious mold issue. Lots of broken stuff. Was very disappointed as I chose this place to stay for my son’s wedding. Would never recommend to my worst enemy and would never book here again if it were the last place standing.

We stayed one night. The inside of the property is amazing. Not sure I have seen anything like that before. When you are in the upper level your balcony is overlooking the hall. That has a great venue place, pool and there was a DJ there the night we stayed so it was super fun sitting on the balcony listening to his sipping cocktails. Kids said pool was cold and the hot tub is removed. There is a small arcade with a couple of old games. The lake has a beach with sand but there is a lot of geese poop. A few very hip restaurants nearby and ice cream places. I would say this place has potential. The lady at the front desk told me they are renovating it but by bit. So give it some time and I thins place can be a great destination. Seems like the

I liked the lake view. As for the room it had a very bad odor. I had to buy candles and air freshner. The bed was very uncomfortable. The furniture was old and smelt like it also. Not 1 person asked how my stay was or if we needed anything. I would not recommend this hotel or stay there again.

This property has not been updated in a long time. This had to be amazing in its day. Geese are all over and poop in the water so we couldn’t swim in the lake. There’s a fee for the fire pit. No food or drinks due to lack of staff. No coffee or microwave in room, no hot tub. But… great staff, pool great, nice on first floor facing lake (chairs provided to sit outside, upgraded for free, price was very reasonable for we got, clean room, bed ok, excellent food locations nearby. We would stay again over night.

The hotel was really rustic, lake was beautiful for fishing and a little picnic. It’s nice for a little getaway, the location was awesome, it had a ton of good places to eat close by. I am giving 5 stars because of how nice staff were to us, would definitely come back. Don’t believe all the bad reviews, this place is indeed a little older than hotels but it has a nice charm to it.

This hotel is odd to begin with, the pool is indoors surrounded by doors leading into private hotel rooms with no lighting. We had to walk through a maze of hallways and stairs to find our room which was fifty and run down. The sink had a massive crack it in, the wall paper was all peeling and cracking. The popcorn ceiling was covered in stains and falling apart. The bed was terrible. I think it was original to the hotel from a hundred years ago. Slept awful and was grossed out the entire time. The only reason we stayed was because we arrived around 7 and just needed a place to stay along the road.
