You are treated like family...

Liked: Amenities, the view, the staff. Everything was adorable
Disliked: Kayaks and paddle boat provided for free. Staff so helpful in supplying hiking suggestions.

This was the most relaxing...

Liked: The location just can’t be beat! It’s a beautiful property right on the lake. It’s peaceful,quiet, with abundant wildlife. We saw eagles, ducks, deer, and loons. There are kayaks available to explore the lake with but early mornings on my paddleboard were magical. The women who own and care for this place go out of their way to make every visitor feel at home and happy. The big breakfasts are delicious! We look forward to coming back.
Disliked: There wasn’t anything that we didn’t like about the property. But we did enjoy seeing the upgrades and improvements that were made since last year!

Superb

I loved the place rustic...

Liked: Quiet. Dark at night. Small property. Beautiful lake
Disliked: Some minor maintenance issues that didn’t affect my stay, but it didn’t look right. There was a rusty metal fence pole on the beach. There was a rotted post at the rear door that could be addressed with a little effort.

Its in a lovely, quiet...

Liked: If you're looking for a small, vintage resort this is the place. Its a family-run place and very welcoming. They served an excellent breakfast of bacon and eggs cooked to order in the morning, along with fresh croissants hot from the oven.
Disliked: The night we arrived was Mexican night in the restaurant. While the food was great, not everyone is a fan of Mexican, so maybe a traditional hamburger could be included on the menu.

We are grateful we chose...

Liked: We are locals and chose to stay here for 3 nights to celebrate our 20 year anniversary. The down-to-earth and warm greeting we received at check in immediately made us feel at home. Personally, I’m not a breakfast person but ate theirs every day of our stay because it was phenomenal. We also had an amazing hostess who you can tell really enjoys her job. The room was cozy, air conditioned, and had a really comfortable bed. One day, we asked if we could go pick up our kids to swim in the lake even though they weren’t staying with us and they encouraged it. They even asked if they’d like to use the floats they had on hand. It was a blast and the family friendly atmosphere is great. During our stay, we saw multiple deer, eagles, loons, ducks with babies, turtles laying eggs, and caught sun fish off of the little dock. Even though we didn’t use them, we loved that they had books and board games outside of the rooms for people to use. This place was a great reminder of the importance of taking time to slow down and enjoy the important things in life, like nature and uninterrupted conversations with the ones you love most!
Disliked: The rooms aren’t as sound proof as a larger/modernized facility but with the AC and tv on, you can hardly hear any noise outside or around the room. We lost hot water for a few hours but before we even brought it to their attention, an apology was given and they already had people on site fixing it.
