Family kayak trip

Was pleasantly surprised by the hospitality and cleanliness of the lodge. The room a little bit older smell to it. Room was clean and comfortable stay. I can not say enough about the restaurant on how delicious the food was. We kayak the lake and really enjoyed it. The scenery was so therapeutic. Can’t wait to come visit again. Thanks to the entire staff. Treated us like family.

Beautiful property right on the lake. Absolutely loved our stay here. Everything was wonderful. The hotel staff was so welcoming and friendly. The only negative feedback we have is the room we selected didn't have a fridge but maybe thats an option for a nicer room but yea that would be my only suggestion put atleast a mini fridge in each room.
