The Hotel is in a great location with a updated retro room. The room had an excellent view of the lake and a great balcony. The staff was very friendly and professional. Our only complaint would be the Hotel restaurant. Food was mediocre and service was slow.

The hotel is very nice with an amazing view of the lake. Hotel is well maintained with comfortable beds and attentive staff. My only complaint was the bathroom. It is rather small and the way the glass is set around the shower it was impossible not to get a lot of water on the floor.

this is an older, but updated property. i believe that every room has a great view of the lake. there is a huge deck that overlooks the lake with tables and chairs and white lights at night. the staff are very friendly and accommodating. there is a restaurant and bar with good food and reasonable prices. the location is close to the state forest, waterfront, wineries, and breweries, as well as the small village.

Absolutely.A wonderful vintage place to stay at , I would call it midcentry modern. Cocktails are extra special.I had an old fashioned which was made just like my father's. The restaurant was wonderful. They served 3 meals a day. We had breakfast and a dinner, and both were delicious.!!!!! The view from the property was fantastic. We were blessed to have a rainbow after it rained in the evening.And it was a double rainbow at that from across the lake to a farm property on the other side of our place. It was a great day and I'm hoping we'll be getting back there.Either this coming here or next year.
