"Nobody at the front desk. Had my reservation for the wrong day. Not very friendly. Won’t be staying again."

"Property was clean and location was great. Staff and breakfast were good. Cool older building, large rooms. "

"Updated and clean rooms. "

"We were checked into a room that had a broken bathroom sink faucet we didn't get to use. Front desk staff were notified. The Wifi connection is also not good; it's really slow."

"Parking is very easy. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast offerings are minimal, so plan ahead if you need a hearty one. Coffee is good."

"If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. We booked this private lake lodge for my husband’s birthday, and it was exactly what we needed. The moment we arrived, everything slowed down. The stillness, privacy, and open sky are something you just don’t find anymore. This cabin is cozy rustic done right—warm, inviting, and thoughtfully put together in a way that makes you feel comfortable immediately. Every detail adds to the experience, from the peaceful lake views out every window to the quiet that surrounds you day and night. We brought his 18-year-old son, and he loved it just as much. Being on the water, unplugging, and having true peace and quiet gave all of us a chance to reset and actually be present together. The privacy is incredible—it truly feels like your own little world. The boat, dock, fire pit, and trees wrapping around the property create that hidden escape feeling that’s hard to describe. Mitch was an exceptional host—genuinely kind, responsive, and very accommodating. You can tell he takes pride in making sure guests feel welcome and taken care of. Everything was seamless from start to finish. I almost don’t want to leave this review because I’d love to keep this place to myself, but it’s too special not to share. We will absolutely be back."

"Very clean and well set up. Good pricing and located close to all amenities."

"What a wonderful space to getaway! Ange was so great with communication and even helped me find a place to eat for my birthday! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Cute and cozy place with an amazing view. Nice to have a covered spot for my vehicle and even though there are stairs down to the place, it didn’t feel like a big hike. It was just the reset I needed and I didn’t want to leave :) Can’t wait to visit again someday when plants are in bloom and/or in the fall."

"10 of us stayed for 3 nights at the end of April. The place was spacious, well appointed and felt more like someone's home than like a vacation rental. The hosts are communicative and approachable. We ate several meals there and had plenty of dishes - everything we looked for we found, even a roasting pan, cookie sheet and grilling equipment. You might want to bring your own storage containers for leftovers. There were plenty of towels, extra blankets and pillows. There are even toys in the ottoman and a high chair and pack and play in the closet. The location next to the restaurant/bar is a mixed blessing as the food is good and close but it was fairly loud and crowded on Saturday night but Sunday and Monday was quiet."
