The staff was great and very helpful along with being very friendly. Thank you so a big shout out to Natalie and Bri you made our weekend unforgettable.
The deck at the restaurant is fantastic. The room I stayed in was small but pretty clean. Seemed like a fair deal. There were no staff on site but someone was helpful by phone and text. Stay for the view.
Clean room, self check in, air conditioning and heaters portable available. The restaurant on property open only since Thursday, so didn’t get to check it out , we were there on Wednesday. The walls are quite thin, can hear everyone through. Otherwise , very pretty views and nice balcony to sit on, beautiful lake side property to enjoy, especially off season.

Lakeview was beautiful room was comfortable, but bed was a little soft. We could not find an ice machine anywhere to use.
Nice size room and great view. Easy parking. Love the luggage bench. New outlets and USB ports were great!
Cons:
No breakfast and no where close to get it. Even some fruit-bananas and apples- would have been appreciated. No cook when we went for dinner.
No grab bars! Accident waiting to happen! Nice renovated shower, but no grab bars ruins it. And where are you supposed to put towels? They were wrapped up nice on our beds, and I found out quickly why. No where to put them! Clean or dirty! You need hooks,hooks hooks! There are plenty of places! Outside of bathroom. Above the luggage bench would also be great!
Bathroom is small so I see why small vanity. But not enough room for toiletries. A small table across from toilet would be helpful.
No tissues. No creamer.
Staff was wonderful! Several texts to see if everything was alright. I waited for these comments because they were so nice. And room and balcony and location were so great! With just a few improvements it would be perfect!
The hotel was exactly what we wanted. We had the king size room with waterfront balcony. It was nice to sit outside and see the beautiful lake. Bugs got bad at night but that’s what you expect with being lakefront in the summer time. We eat breakfast in the restaurant on property, buffet style. It was good, staff were very friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness
Basic room was perfect for one night stay. But the bar/restaurant was closed so we had to travel for food and drinks. Seems Friday and Saturday are the only nights anything is open.
Such a nice place to stay on the water, easy access to attractions near by. Definitely coming back

We stayed dockside so we could see the water. Unfortunately room was on top of kitchen, so my bathroom smelled of old oil and music from staff was loud until I asked them to turn it off at 10:30 pm. Front desk was very helpful. No cleaning service unless I wanted to pay additional $35 per day

It was good view of the lake. Restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Room was clean and smelled good. The only issue I had was Saturday nite wifey I came back from dinner and wanted to go to the bar, since it said closes at 12. Instead I was told they were closing as I walked in at 10 pm and had a little attitude about it. Meanwhile people were still in there eating other than that my stay was wonderful.
Being able to see the sunrise every morning on the lake was just wonderful. And I wanted to buy one of their beds. It was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in with the comforter and the pillows, and the bed itself was just really comfortable and helped me get a good night sleep.
