10/10 Exceptional

Hidden gem of a town. Spectacular Accomodation!

Had a terrific stay at this property. Room was cozy and was literally feet from the beautiful lake. Front desk was friendly and welcoming. Lively restaurant and bar patio right off your patio deck. Only drawback for us was being on the first floor, not having the enhanced view of the lake. Definite plans to return.
Beautiful lake access
Anthony, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice lake view but not our room. The front desk was extremely friendly. The air conditioner was very loud and unfortunately too warm outside to turn off. Room was nicely decorated.
