Had my installation crew up here for a couple of days on a big job. They just reported back to me that the hotel did not have running water or electricity in the room. No generator and staff is very hard to find. They had to go to the golf course to use the washroom. very disappointed

Golden lake is the best option to enjoy summer time with family and friends. The option of the chalet is great for a family and the magnificent lake is the most enjoyable experience.
