スタッフの方々はフレンドリーで親切、お料理も美味しく、レイクフロントの立地で良い宿です。 朝食の値段が少し高いのと、朝の入浴が有料というのが少し残念ですが、周囲の宿と比べると良心的な価格かもしれません。

都会の喧騒を離れ、週末は白樺湖でゆっくりした時間を過ごせました。

部屋も程よく広くて、食堂も洋風で素敵な暖炉があったり、サンルームからの景色は最高でした。食事もおいしかった。１階のラウンジにはサッカーゲームがあり白熱した。白樺湖で一番いい景色を堪能できるロケーションだと思う。２階のラウンジのソファーに二人でゆったり座って眺める景色には癒されます。お風呂も広くてよかったです。朝は日の出を見に噴水近くまで程よい距離の散歩コースです。正面には湿地帯のような散策用の木橋があったり、ベンチもいくつかあるので湖をゆっくり眺められます。

雰囲気抜群！

隠れ家的な雰囲気。部屋は寝るスペース位でトイレとか部屋出ないと行けないのが辛いが、ロフトもあって楽しいお部屋に感じのいい従業員さんで満足でした！
