We loved this place! The room was beautiful with a wonderful jet tub, comfortable bed and big windows towards the lake. Would have been nice to have a cappuccino option at breakfast since the coffee was pretty weak. The table top Skittles game in the lounge was great. We would stay here again!

Rooms are gorgeous, large beds with comfortable bedding, fireplace and balconies. The staff is fantastic. While I was there inquired about the murder mystery dinner and she took me around to see all of the room choices so I could pick a special room for our 30th anniversary. Looking forward to my next stay
