Tv reception kept cutting out making tv watching useless. Need better seats for patio. One lounger allows only seating for one. And it’s too low. Hard to get in and out of and leaves the view only through the railing. Should be a couple bar stools so two can enjoy the beautiful view. And what’s with no phone. I get it everyone has a cell phone but that makes it hard to connect to the front desk if you have issues. Nice place. Just needs a few things to bring its rating up
The rooms were spotless and incredibly comfortable. The view from the room was stunning – a perfect way to start and end each day. Everything was clean and well-maintained, which made the stay even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back!
The location is beautiful. We stayed here 26 years ago the weekend my husband proposed. This weekend we celebrated our 25th anniversary here.
The only problems were that there is only 1 hook to hang and reuse towels and there were 2 of us. I put mine on the ground hoping it would be replaced by housekeeping but they never came so day 2 I couldn’t shower. Also there was evidence on the floor and wall next to the toilet that the previous Tennant didn’t make it to the bathroom in time. Quite disgusting. Other than those 2 things which were both housekeeping issues the stay was great!
The restaurant was great!

Disliked: Amenities
Pictures are VERY deceiving - staff just says “sorry for the confusion” instead of updating pictures online or even trying to make us happy... I booked a cabin thinking we’d be right on the lake with the amazing view (as pictured). When we got there we found out all cabins were located across the street (so your view is the street lol). DEFINITELY NOT worth the money paid.
We also hated having to walk across a busy main road just to access amenities. Pool area was small. Would be nice if they had more shade around the lounging areas especially during the summer.
Overall was NOT happy with my stay and will not be coming back.
The pictures are not matching the description. It looks like we could see the lake from our room, but the actual cabin is across the street. The cabin is spotted less. It's good for 2 families with full kitchen.
