The exterior of the hotel is very nice. The fireplace and common area is really nice and welcoming. Staff is great. Rooms are dated and walls definitely need some soundproofing. Overall it was a good stay, will consider coming back in the summer. The surrounding area is beautiful and fun.

Lovely resort. Friendly staff. Comfortable and cozy. Special perk with Santa both nights we were there!

Everything was perfect. Very clean and nice environment.

First of all, everyone was friendly from the moment we arrived. Our room was clean and fresh and comfortable and those were the most soft pillows I have ever used. The grounds were clean and comfortable. They had marshmallows s'mores outside at night for families I felt really safe. I really do like this place and I will be returning. I have nothing bad to say. I really enjoyed myself. I wish I could have stayed another night

Room was spotless. Bed was okay. Didn’t get any benefit from resort fee. Would have been nice to sit by fire pit or enjoy the full moon over the lake. Dinner at their restaurant was excellent!
