We were there during off season. Unfortunately, the hotel restaurant wasn't open but I bet it's beautiful when open. The room was great, newly renovated and the balcony goes out back with a beautiful view of the lake. I bet it looks even more gorgeous in the summer/fall. It was contactless service so we didn't see any staff.

Room was clean and comfortable, check in was very easy. It appeared that the whole lobby and main building was under complete renovation so when I got there to check in my key was taped to the door with my name on it. Later time of check out was great and the key box made it easy to check out. Even though I stayed here in January, it was still nice and cozy.

No pool, nor firepit. The view of the lake is 5 star. The accommodations are 3 star. The room is clean and comfortable. Here are some tips:Bring silverware there is a mini frig and microwave, but no silverware not even plastic, no continental breakfast, the restaurant was closed in April. Bring food or drive into town. No housekeeping in April , no information in the room, so find out where to get ice and more coffee packets ahead of time. Be car
