"Fantastic location and the private onsen was amazing. Staying at the lake did limit dining options (great for lunches, not so great for dinners), but that has nothing to do with the hotel. Only complain is that one of the a/c unit wasn't working and it was stifling hot in this room, so my kids slept on the futons in the living room instead."

The one inconvenience is that keeps me from giving 5 stars was that there was no one to call when you need anything, even if you place a request on their portal. They don’t deliver unless you’re staying multiple nights, The chat didn’t work. They gave us 2 coffee pods for a group of 4 people.The Nearest store is a 20 min uphill walk to get coffee. They have a vending machine but no coffee pods. Coffee is very important to us."
