Its close to the village. The room was very clean which we appreciated. Good variety of clean dishes available to use for eating and cooking. Friendly staff at check in. Nice outdoor fire pit/BBQ area with a lake view. I'd give it overall about a 4.7, the only thing was we had wifi issues but we thankfully didn't really need wifi. Had a great time with our little family if three.

Overall great location to the village. Big beat lake is just right behind the place we stayed in. Unfortunately there was construction around the property but they are just making the place look better. Room was big. Not sure if we got a bad bed or box spring. Every th time we would lay down, it seemed as our heads were lower than our feet. Our feet were higher than our heads. We turned the mattress around and same problem. Other than that issue, place was great.

I honestly absolutely adored my stay here. It was in a perfect location to walk wherever we needed. The view was absolutely gorgeous and I was able to take my dogs hassle free. Check in was amazing and I Would love to stay here again. However we stayed in cabin number 310. The sofa bed was broken and they attempted to help but ended up just blaming us and saying we were rude. I know what it’s like to work customer service and I would never be rude to any workers especially when it’s 1am.
