From the moment we arrived, the cozy mountain atmosphere made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with everything you need for a relaxing stay. I loved that the hotel is so close to the lake, and local dining. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make our visit seamless. Definitely a place I’d return to.

Needs some TLC. But not too bad for my budget. This place has potential and could use a property manager to maintain the property. Everything worked and bed was nice. The noise from the neighbors and traffic made it difficult to sleep sometimes. Enjoyed being close to the lake and everything. A good remodel and sound proof walls and windows would help. Five stars if they can address these issues.
Descent sized room for two guests. TV, microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker and iron and board available.
What time is this? Replace alarm clock.
Windows needs to be replaced and doesn’t close out the elements.
Repair to wall needed.
