The beds were extremely comfortable, however I thinkprice of the room being extremely high for what we got, it was a little disappointing and the bathroom and carpeting are very outdated and old.

Well paid a lot of money for just one night. Marketed as for more older children but was full of kiddies We got there early but they did. It give us a room till 4:35 pm pass the 4 pm check in. Asked if we wanted a room with a balcony I said “yes” even though we waited they gave us a room on the ground floor Also 3 of the big slides were not working and the lazy river was closed that left very little to do. Again for what they charge they did not even give us all the attractions nor did they tell you this when we booked. We should have gone to kalahar where all rides are open. Finally breakfast for the 3 of us was $100 That is 33 dollars for scrambled eggs and sausages and coffee. Kind of steep. Overall feel like I was cheated out of the full experiences because the rides were not working yet they charged us for the full experience. F

The location is top notch. The rooms can use some updating. While the restaurant is convenient the menu could be expanded with more choices beyond pub grub. If you're looking for a place to kick back with spectacular views this is it.

Very beautiful property with 24/7 continental breakfast. Self serve canoe to use, fire pit and close to NYS walking trails. Our room overlooked the lake with Adirondack chairs outside the room. I wish we stayed another night so we could enjoy the restaurant.

BEAUTIFUL setting and lovely room. I only have 2 complaints: (1) the carpet was stained and (2) we could not control the AC in the room. Food was excellent and the server was delightful. I will definitely stay again.

bathroom shower was covered in mold, room wasnt very clean when we got in, walls super thin could hear people walking up and down stairs and people talking down in the office area, we had 3 kids with us and non of slept more then 3 hours, claimed to be an ac room and none of us could sleep or be comfortable because it was so hot in the hotel/room, also the staff seemed very inconvenienced any time we asked a question. family of 5 was only given 2 towels in the room. not what we expected for 450$ at all.. very dissapointed.

Beautiful setting. Bathroom needs a good scrub/mold in the shower Gardens need weeding and grounds a good tiding In general the place needs some care-especially window cleaning. Better coffee amenities needed in the room. This is our second stay we love the beds/pillows and cafe service super We will be back! Hope this helps!
