Noisy - Room needs a white noise machine. You can hear conversations from other rooms and people coming back late at night. Night light or dimmer switches - This room needs a night light or dimmer switches. Brought my elderly mother and sister with me and they needed access to the bathroom at night. We had to leave the bedroom door open with the full light on because there was no other dim light available. You couldn’t leave the door ajar slightly because it wouldn’t stay still. You had to leave it fully open which was too much light. Heat - It was hard to control the heat in the room between the fireplace and the heater. The heater wouldn’t provide enough heat at night. And, the fireplace left the room too hot. There isn’t a control for the fireplace. Family wasn’t able to sleep the whole night. Refund - was planning to stay 2 nights. I had asked for a refund for the second day since there was an incoming snowstorm warning on the WeatherChannel where 6-10 inches of snow would be expected the next day. The second night would have cost around $280 and the manager denied the request for the full refund. Only got $100 back which is not even half of the cost of what would be the cost of the second night. This is not the way to keep customers coming back to your property especially when you know that there is incoming dangerous weather coming the next day. Not booking with Expedia again since their loyalty is to the property and not the customer.
The rooms are cozy with deck space overlooking Lake Como and the Getaway restaurant was on the property with a beautiful terraced patio. The food and service were great!
Lake view was perfect. The sitting area outside of our room was great except people were smoking even though it wasn’t allowed. I tried to call the office but no one answered.
Staff is friendly.
The rooms were clean but are on the older side. The bed was comfortable.
Popular with drunks that party way past reasonable quiet hours.

Great little spot, but Definitely not a spa
The area was absolutely beautiful!!!! The amenities, not so much. The "spa tub" was not operational. I first noticed there was no bath tub stopper. I alerted the attendant. They said they would try to locate it. They told me they were not able to find one that fit. The next morning i realized that the knob to turn on the jets was painted shut. The beautiful fire place in the room was not operational as well. The view was amazing and the restaurant and bar being 20 feet away was perfect. Great little get away minus the amenities not being functional.
there were bugs all in our room and the office closes at 8 pm so I had to leave a message, we left at 9 that night we did not stay and nobody called me back to return my voicemail, I had to call again the following Monday.

Private couples retreat destination
Nice, quiet, scenic, resort. Clean and kept up. Room amenities menities starting to show age. Still a nice stay.
This property had a great waterfront balcony with a view. It was quiet when we were there and we enjoyed our stay and would return. The room was spacious and clean. The beds were a little soft but not bad for a couple nights. I was not crazy about the food or drinks at the restaurant. We had pasta dishes and they were just ok for us. The drinks we had were $14 each and really sweet so would probably skip the restaurant next time. The pool was great, it went up to 9ft deep and we enjoyed our time at the pool. The little beach area had kayaks, paddle boards and water bikes for you to use which although we didn’t have time, I loved that they offered this!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The view was gorgeous and the room was clean and comfortable. We especially liked having a restaurant right there on the property. Dinner was delicious. The only issue we had was that the room air conditioner was very loud which woke us up all night. Highly recommend.
