Nice and quiet getaway. Friendly staff and close to
Bathroom so old and super small, the shower either too hot or too cold and it's so hard to adjust the temperature. The bathtub is super old and dirty. We had horibble experience in this place.
This property is perfect for a long weekend. Has a wood burning fireplace and BBQ. Check-in was super easy and the staff was super nice. Check-out was just as easy. The grounds were kept clean. There is a gas firepit and horseshoes to enjoy and walking distance to Boulder Bay. Definitely will be staying here again.
Nice property with more space than a traditional hotel room. Closed for season, but would be great to utilize pool and spa in summer. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
I loved everything about this property, including the attentive and helpful staff. Everyone there was warm, welcoming and friendly.

Fun stay for a larger group. Not much to do on the property outside the cabin's Parks and attractions not far, away. Exiting the property can take some patience cars do pass by fairly quickly.
