Automatic locking system failed us. Was able to enter the code giving and it worked once. Fortunately my spouse was inside when I tested lock mechanism by touching the lock button and from there on the code would not allow it to unlock. We were not able to leave to enjoy a nearby restaurant for food and drinks, only if we packed everything by in the vehicle and leave the room unlocked. The individual that was there monitoring the establishment was an idiot that was no help. Number at the so called desk area was called but no responding. The room was comfortable and cozy for a night stay. I hope someone contacts whom ever owns this place to inform them of our issue so it doesn’t happen to someone else moving forward

Room was fine, clean, quaint and easy check in. Could not figure out how Spectrum worked. When you click the Spectrum app it would ask for a password. 2 remotes, one TV and cable box, you should leave instructions. Had to watch Roku TV! No ice until the morning we checked out and the only firewood I could find was some burnt pieces in the pits. For $250/night could have been better!

Adequate and overrated. It’s like a Motel6 experience, but without adequate parking and functioning blinds. Lots of on premise activities that were illegal just a few years back if you get my meaning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Pros- beautiful area, easy parking, comfy bed Cons- no hot water, I had to turn on the water to get the toilet working, no water at bathroom sink ( I couldn’t figure out where to turn it on-unlike the toilet), kitchen sink didn’t drain, coffee pot was dirty, floor needed swept in the whole unit. It seemed like no one had stayed in the room in a long time, and it was just kind of neglected.

A good value. Comfortable, clean , good beds, towels, good wifi. Quaint and welcoming decor. Looks much better on the inside- a little weathered on the outside, but don’t let that put you off. It was surprisingly quiet situated next to the road, too. We had a wonderful dinner next door at Bonfire”. There are two other more casual dining options across the street on the lake, too. A good stay.

They had a power outage so we had to call for the key code. They answered the second time we called. There is no one on site. The sprinklers were running in the morning, soaking the cars and the sidewalks right in front of the hotel. We called and asked them to shut them off so we went to get soaked when we were loading our car and no one answered. We had to wait for them to shut off.
