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.

Amazing place to get away. Adam and Sarah are perfect hosts. Great staff especially Carol and Kyle. It was hard to leave. Staying in a lake view suite is a must. Such a great hidden gem. Checking out was the hardest to do- wanted to stay longer. Back to the grind.

I’m really de disappointment with the Hotel, I pay for nice Room and they give me below average of what i pay for, the person in charge offer me a 1 hour sauna with a hot tub as compensation, beside change the room for one night and go back the next day for a smaller room. That same night was raining so bad, that our restroom was licking cold water, they didn’t give us another room, what makes it worse they try to rent that same room with water leakage problem to another person. How in the world they think I want to leave in the middle of the storm when I pay for a nice enjoyable moment. I truly believe that they scammed me.
