Every floor board squeaked when you walked on it. Lots of things did not work in the cabin. No outside lights on the deck, toilets were marginal. We were never told what was included in the stay. Like bring your own dish soap, towels, paper towel etc. The free breakfast was nothing. Make your own waffles, hard to peel hard boiled eggs. We had to ask for butter and syrup.

We don’t mind an “old lodge” fell, but the room was quite outdated, shower was rusty and carpet was stained. Balcony wood was in poor shape, didn’t go out there. Breakfast was minimal, hard boiled eggs were old and yolks turning blackish green. Lobby was great, bar was good. Views were beautiful. Lodge dog was a bonus for the kids.

We ended up in a cabin, possibly by mistake that was really not up to par. When we went to the front desk they were very helpful and put us in a room that was very nice and comfortable. We would be happy to come back sometime!

This was such a beautiful and historic, but comfortable and modern, location. The staff were so friendly, the bed and pillows comfortable, and the views over the lake were just lovely. My only critique would be that I would appreciate if they had dairy alternatives for breakfast, such as oat milk for the coffee and cereal.
