We arrived to unannounced 10$ parking fee to not enough cups and no coffee or body lotion and only one robe in the room. The carpet has stains and the elevator floor needs to be washed. And then to top it off the hot tub was broke down and they never told us when we checked in. The bed was comfortable and the. AC shower had great pressure.

I loved the property for space and proximity to the lake. It is lovely to walk about the property and enjoying kayaking, swimming etc in the lake. The staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was well situated. The lovely scent in the elevators was a welcome surprise (in a good way). The rooms were spacious, quiet, and tidy. The beds were very soft - but comfortable. A grocery store is within a km uphill walk or 3 minute drive.

I had a wonderful experience here. They were very accommodating to me and my Girl Guide Unit. The staff was very understanding and helped me out when needed. There was an issue trying to get ahold of the front desk on the one day (over 1.5 hours to get a hold of anyone - we called & went to the counter & no one was around. And there were a bunch of people wanting to check in). Breakfast is the basic free breakfast, but it hit the spot to get us going. I would say being there early because each morning, they ran out of drinks & food. I love the fact that they had games to bring to the rooms to play. That was a hit for the girls in their rooms. The lake is beautiful and peaceful. You can sit on your deck and enjoy a coffee/tea with your breakfast and enjoy the scenery.
