Romantic lakeside escape
lakeside view friendly staff
I had a unit directly facing the lake, and the view was amazing. staff members were helpful and friendly. Their assistance added much to my stay. i appreciated the picnic table right outside the room. It gave me opportunity to soak in the outdoors.
The lack of charm in the ensuite cabin was somewhat disappointing. internet access was inconsistent. It cut out around 8 PM and did not return, affecting tv functionality. i wished the experience matched the cost.
