The resort is absolutely beautiful!! We got a suite that had a patio overlooking the lake. It was so gorgeous. Easy access to the restaurant and bar and grill. It is certainly a bit pricy, but a very nice getaway.

Did not receive my free bottle of wine. Otherwise we had an amazing time! Use Duraflame only for the Suite, we were not informed only after we tried to bring in more of regular wood and the cleaning staff informed us! Amazing views and very close to restaurants an the market has everything you practically need!

The cabin was lovely and rustic and had great facilities for everything we needed during the stay. Lovely surroundings with shop, bars and restaurants on site too. The staff also done a great job of keeping all the roads clear from the heavy snow. We were charged the full amount at check in although we had already pre-paid but this was sorted out straight away by the reception staff- just be aware.
