Clean room, courteous and friendly staff. Disappointed as expected Kithenette in room (details showed kitchenette facilities) and had shared facility without cooking hob, just small microwave. Very small fridge in room.
Very good breakfast.
I loved this place! Mid century modern, North American lake house vibes. Super cozy. Very well maintained and super clean. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was delicious. Gorgeous views and spacious room.
We loved the location, secluded lake front, close to Skyline and other attractions. Spa and sauna in a fabulous spot to enjoy the beautiful views while relaxing. Above all amazing staff, very friendly and helpful. A fabulous cooked to order breakfast to start the day.
Lovely lake front property
Very quiet and relaxing
