Good vibes for healing and relaxing. Beautiful views of the lake enhance this laid back sanctuary. Not fancy, but more funky Buddhist. The manager Adam and his staff were welcoming and saw that we had everything we needed. Our room had a lake view and patio and am amazing steam shower! Reiki Master is superb - I had a transformative session with her. The meditation room is beautiful and serene. Overall, it exceeded our expectations.

Room was very nice clean and beautiful! But the free continental breakfast that came with the premium room was just bagels and oatmeal and they said they supplied toiletries but there was only soap and toilet paper idk I just expected a little more for the price, but they were very nice and very clean just bring your own supplies and you gotta pay extra for a breakfast.
