The room was nice but noticed there was a little gap under the door when we closed it. Sure enough, a mouse squeezed thru and scared the wife. I brought it up with the front desk and they made a note of it. That was the only opening I saw so that must have been where it came in. Other than that, I didn't have any complaints.
Spent over an hour trying to find our suite no maps, no directions, key left in a lockbox for a suite and didn’t work on any doors, couldn’t call to get help. Awful!

Liked: Amenities
The stairs were hard to navigate, but we are seniors. We were super disappointed that the fireplace didn’t work. The room was decorated nice and the kitchen was a plus. Terry the manager was extremely nice. Part of the disappointment was Expedias fault. They listed it as having breakfast, it was continental. All and all it is a good location and fairly priced.
We were happy with this property. The location was great although we weren’t in a room that had a Lake view, It was a beautiful location. A little bit disappointed about the fireplace, not working, but the owner said she’s going to be making improvements on all of the amenities.

Nice friendly staff, clean room and comfortable bed also great price
We had cold water first two days which sucked being 6 months pregnant and trying to avoid getting sick. Other than that it was completely fine and would come back
Filthy room, filthy sheets, room and balcony in disrepair. On-site managers did their best, but the property has been allowed to go to shambles. Never again.

Great location
Location is great walking distance to village right on the lake it’s budget friendly but outlets were loose we could barely keep our phones charged and had to try one outlet after another that wasn’t about to fall out of the wall the deadbolt wasn’t working the coffee machine did not work. The fireplaces were broken But it’s rustic and quiet the staff is friendly and helpful
We were in BB for a family funeral. We enjoyed the view, the size of the room, and two queen beds. The staff was very attentive. Definitely would return. We also liked the small beach and pier where swallows nest.
The service was top notch. I can not say enough good things about Terry at the front. The view in our room was amazing. I usually bring my own pillow but I forgot. The bed and the pillows were perfect!! I can not wait to plan a return trip!
It’s an okay property. We booked it so we could fish from the pier so weren’t looking for anything special. It was very cold in the room. They brought in a room heater for second night but it didn’t work. Overall not a bad place to stay if you only plan to use it to sleep.
A bit secluded from the main drag of town, which made for a nice, quiet environment. Would have liked to see more seating options on the private beach, as well as more complimentary breakfast options
