Room was clean and adequate for our 1 night stay, although the beds were not very comfortable. Too soft for our needs

Good value for a lakefront property with clean room, balcony, and a kitchenette with Nespresso machine. The spa in the open plan bedroom is a cool feature. Will be happy to come back again.
