Pros: quite, safe, beautiful, friendly and hospitable check in/out. Gas grills amazing. Cons: ant infestation, nowhere to hang clothes, no room service or fresh towels despite staying there for 3 night (with proper sign displayed) but there was no one to be seen. I guess its by phone request only? Strange.

Could not ask for better location. Stayed in bottom floor lodge room which was a short walk to the edge of the lake. Could also do a 10 min walk to the village or a very short drive. Definitely central location. Room was nice. Newly renovated. However, coffee maker did not work, some ants appeared in bathroom, and housekeeping did not show first night. Amenities were very nice ...water in lobby, fire pit, and pool.hot tub.
Right by the lake.

Book it! Their renovations of the hotel rooms are superb. Spacious, clean, firm beds, 55" tvs, refrigerator, little coffee machine, bathroom (shower/tub) with (closet) super spacious. Highly recommend. The staff were very inviting and hospitable. The hotel sits next to a little portion of the lake with a boat dock. There's a small seating area, a little "beachy" arra but most people were fishing. Only con is the walls are thin. We heard walking around above us and doors shutting throughout the night. If youre a light sleeper, bring earplugs.
