No door on the bathroom was a problem. The beautiful shower was right inside on the left. Absolutely no way to have a private shower experience.. A really nice curtain for the door would have made the bathroom more comfortable and could easily be removed for anyone who wished. No amenities. I didn't find out till the last day that the casino next door had a good food selection.

Everyone one was so kind and welcoming at the front desk. Great hospitality. For the price they have it for, I found this place spectacular. I would definitely stay here again. We were out and about for the most part enjoying our hikes and festival/show. The shower was super nice and hot. The towels are nice. We stayed in room 4. There is no a bathroom door , which we didn’t mind because we traveled as a couple. The style and design of the room was cute and unique. We only slept for three nights here. They had a tv too. But it was cable. Not a smart tv. Wished it was a smart tv but not complaining we had our phones to watch something on prime or Netflix. If you’re curious that’s what we did lol. Room 4 did have a balcony too. SUPER CUTE AS WELL. Overall, this room #4 is more for a couple’s type of vibe and if you are really only there to sleep and shower.

I loved the quaintness of the property. The room was perfect. And the shower (I know it's weird) had one of the greatest temperatures and pressure I have had in a hotel

They nicely renovated an old wooden guest house of historic value. 4 rooms on the first floor. Modern fixtures, lighting, nice showers, rich wood trim. Only comments were: check-in was in Casino next door and inn was a mile from the village.

A wonderful find! The house is beautiful, the rooms are large and very elegantly decorated and it’s quiet and has a rural feel despite being in the hub of things.

This is a hotel with a casino in it. My son wanted to play casino games before a day of snowboarding. It was clean and recently updated bathroom. Very comfortable beds. The only thing that I didn’t care for was the dimly lit room. There were canned ceiling lights that had covers more appropriate for aiming at hung pictures. There was only one table lamp with a black shade. One of the two bathroom mirror’s lights weren’t working. For one night it was ok but very overpriced.

Great for the price!

The room was great, clean and stocked with what you would expect. My only issue was the shower only had cloth shower curtains and there was no door to separate the room from the bathroom. I like to keep the room cool, therefor the bathroom was always chilly and the water temp in the shower was not very hot. Otherwise great option for someone looking to stay in north lake for under $800 a night and have access to a small casino.
