Excellent facility for the price. Plenty of space for me and my daughter. Cable tv worked a dream when snow conditions were too heavy to be outside. Kitchen was great. Only issue was the stove top needed a lighter to use and given we arrived after checkin we couldn’t grab from reception. Would definitely stay here again.

Location was great! Comfy bed and amenities. Love the steakhouse across the street. It’s snowed a ton and they plowed the parking lot but we shoveled our own path to unit 28 twice. It’s Perfect if 267 is open up to Northstar. We will definitely be back without a winter storm, lol. I would imagine summer is perfect here in the lake! Highly recommend.

The property manager Brian is AWSOME! As we checked in late at night, Brian called us and emailed a day before with detailed direction to access our room keys. He is very friendly and courteous. I made myself to thank him in person. THANK YOU Brian :)

It was a wonderful stay. We loved every minute. The only suggestion I could recommend is better signage at night. We had a difficult time finding the driveway in the dark.
