Room was spacious for a family of 4. Kids got their own bed/ area that doubled as a couch. King size bed was comfortable. Overall a clean place. It could use a good deep cleaning and washing of the curtains but it was fine. The view of the mountains and water was beautiful. The walk to the water was super easy and getting to the snow was a convenient 20-30 min drive. The staff was nice and attentive. We easily got extra towels, blankets and pillows. I would stay here again and recommend for an affordable stay.
This property is clean, fully equipped kitchen, friendly staff, close to dining, shopping. I like how this property has its own private lake. We enjoyed our stay here
We love that the beach access is very convenient and beautiful view. The only downside is the geese’s stool around the beach and volleyball court, but I we understand that its part of the nature. We had fun, will definitely come back.
Our very quaint little one bedroom cabin that sleeps 4 was fully equipped with linens, towels, and basic toiletries. The kitchenette was well equipped with coffee pot and supplies, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, and stove. Dining table for 4. Beach towels were available too. Our cabin was among the big trees and across the street from their private beach with lounge chairs and dock. Heated pool was a "refreshing" temperature and needed some skimming. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Private beach was equipped with lounge chairs.It felt very homey. I would definitely stay there again.
