The hotel was beautiful, our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. We did find some ants on the nightstand which was the only complaint we had. The staff were very attentive and accommodating. I would suggest extending breakfast until 10:00 am. I would recommend staying at the Lodge to all of my family and friends.

This is my second stay at the Lodge, and I really enjoyed time I spent here. Spacious, clean rooms. If you have not been here before, ALL rooms have a lake view. Bed was comfortable. Hot breakfast in the morning. I like that they got private beach. You can seat in the lounge chair, watch the lake, soak up the sun. Swimming pool is on a smaller side. GREAT staff, very friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to staying at the Lodge again.

In room 303, the entire room shook during the entire time I stayed from an exterior door shutting. I called the front desk and they told me the only room I could shift to was right by the lobby which hosts a bar and activities and would be loud as well. It was literally torture as I didn’t sleep at all with no recourse or solution offered.
