The staff on this property is fantastic, thank you! Our room was great, we didn’t have any shared walls and it was a stand alone cottage (#35). Small, but had everything we needed for our overnight stay.

Quaint Mountain Getaway

Very cute and quaint cottage in the mountains. There is a restaurant/ bar in the same building as the hotel lobby. Conveniently located within walking distance to the lake. I would definitely go back again for a longer stay as my visit was short.

Good family-friendly inn

Overall it was a decent stay, central location. A couple of things to mention: TV channels weren’t working well and heating was uneven, first floor would stay colder than upstairs which would get real hot during the night
