Our stay was intended for one night, our stay was comfortable and relaxing. Tho pool and Jacuzzi were amazing which made us decide to stay two nights. I recommend Fireside to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the lakes region.

Would Recommend this Hotel to Anyone

Very nice hotel. For an independent hotel, they really had their act together. Clean, free bfast was actually pretty good. The rooms were clean and the towels were plentiful and new. I would go back and also recommend this place to anyone else. Only gripe would be the fact that it is the only hotel I have been to in the last "fifty" years that still actually uses KEYS.
