Liked: Amenities
The property is under new ownership as of the 1st of the year and we met them. Fabulous people. The rooms are freshly updated with outstanding comfortable beds, new paint, walk-in showers, service was impeccable. The view of the lake was gorgeous. There was a microwave, refrigerator, Keurig in the rooms. There was a restaurant out back that included a bar, but it did not serve breakfast, nor is there a continental breakfast, but don't let that deter you from staying there! Plenty of breakfast places close by. We will be returning for another stay! Rhonda A

Nice hotel and location and very friendly welcoming staff. Two minor things. A listing of TV channels would have been helpful. The sturdy wooden bedframe was a shin knocker until I got used to it. :)

Beautful patio room overlooking the lake. Very clean with stylish deco throughout the hotel. Rooms were so cute! Since it is right next to a lake, bring some mosquito spray if you like spending time on the outdoor patio!
