The Trailsman was an excellent place to stay. Check in was smooth. The staff are very helpful. The continental breakfast has both hot and cold choices. The woman serving breakfast is very good at her job. The view of the lake from the deck off the room is beautiful.

Great location and a wonderful view from our unit. One major problem was that the television was too small and did not work with access to a limited number of channels and a very poor screen quality.

The view was amazing. Right on the waterfront. The closet where the garbage can was dirty otherwise the room was quite clean. I didn’t see that until the following morning and I’m sure if I would’ve asked they would have cleaned it. They did let us get in our room early which was nice. The front office smelt very strong of some type of perfume that was not good for my breathing but other than that it was a ok stay. Breakfast was OK nothing fancy. I don’t know if I’d eat any of their baked goods as I saw a staff member put a muffin back from a table at the end of the breakfast time.

I’ll preface by saying I know it’s the off season… but we found there was usually nobody around and things were pretty neglected. We found everything comfortable enough, our room had been cleaned and linens were clean, but the rooms are not in the best condition. Ther stairs to the building had thick ice. The rooms that you enter via a hallway are noisy (the key code for the door is super loud!) and make it feel more like shared accommodation.
