This place was wonderful with very good hotel staff and clean facilities. There could have been some other amenities offered (fishing gear to rent, outdoor yard games like cornhole) but our family would definitely come back here to stay again.

Very nice quaint hotel next to a beautiful lake. It’s an older hotel, but very nicely done. Beautiful lake views, nice town, bar and grill with music by the lake and steakhouse on site. Highly recommended.
