We had a great stay and really enjoyed the lobby and fireplace facing the lake. Our room was really comfortable and clean and we really enjoyed the sliding glass door and patio off of the room. Unfortunately, we came in during the snowstorm so a lot of things were closed and it was kind of a ghost house. The young lady at the front desk was wonderful and so accommodating. We definitely want to come back when it’s warmer so we can enjoy the lake.
