    Customer Reviews

    Enjoyed Most:
    Pristine lakefront setting with gorgeous view and no road noise. The availability of the kayaks was a wonderful plus!!!
    Enjoyed Least:
    There was only a single bed that was not for a single-person, and it is in an open loft with no view and only two tiny windows for ventilation. Not a big gripe, but not ideal.
    Surrounding Area:
    Lots to do and see, and lake activities as a break from cultural sightseeing.
    Nearby Events or Locales:
    The two restaurants within walking distance were both poor, but there is a grocery within walking distance. Otherwise one has to drive for everything else.

    Nearby Events or Locales:
