The room was relatively clean overall but had a very bad smell. Everything is too old and not maintained. Mosquitos nets had holes, which is complicated next to a lake.

Old School Moteling - Great Hosts

Our hosts were gracious in our check in, meals and inquiring about our needs during our stay. We are pretty self sufficient so didn't need a lot of extras when travelling but everything for a stay is covered. Cable TV not Roku TV so Playoffs can be watched was a plus. The beds were super comfy. Small fridge but served our needs (no ice box). Ice can be collected at the main building during open hours. The views are wonderful with amazing sunsets and watching a bear across the shore lumber along. As for the food - probably the best Butter Chicken we have had. Service is delightful and we discovered a new Youtube channel for some fun Middle Age Dad - Garage Bands. Its old school moteling but that is exactly how we like it.
