Fairmont Empress
My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. The hotel is gorgeous! Our room was very clean and comfortable and the food and spa experience were wonderful! Tea at the Empress was a highlight! The staff consistently went above and beyond to make our stay special. Highly recommend!

Charming suite at the lake, right in the heart of the village.
Great place. I was not contacted by VRBO with the exact address so it took a bit of extra time to check in.
