The property is absolutely beautiful and sits right on the lake. Our room overlooked the lake and mountain range, which made the quiet, quaint experience so much better. The grounds had lots of places to play, fish and sit in peace. We would stay here again if ever back in the area.

Perfect local getaway

We had a great time in our room at the retreat. Very quiet and peaceful and relaxing. Very close to Burgess falls where we wanted to go. They are pet friendly so I was able to have my dogs with me which really helped put my mind at ease. I will absolutely be coming back!
Balcony is great for kids or pets

With no real hotel options in town, my company chose this location for me. It was really lovely. Nicely appointed room, quiet, comfortable beds and the scenery was breathtaking. I never saw the property staff but they called me to explain the process and they were super friendly! I can wait to do this as a leisure trip! Thanks!
