Beautiful location. Great staff. Jason at front desk was excellent. Has the old school "Lodge vibe". Would go back. I'm sure it will be quite colorful in autumn.

Place was nice and quiet. The view of the lake was blocked partially by trees, but you could still get good views if you walked down to the lake or were at the restaurant. The internet was good. Had no cell phone reception. Staff was nice and helpful. Rooms were clean. My only complaint beside cell phone reception is the "continental breakfast". The breakfast was literally only, coffee, juice, cereal, toast, packaged muffins, packaged waffles, packaged sausage biscuits. I was expecting a buffet. I'm guessing there was no buffet because it was after labor day, but it was disappointing because the restaurant wasn't even open for breakfast either and you are not close to any other food places.

Overall, everything was great! The mountain views were beautiful, and the place had a cozy, rustic feel. It was quiet, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. The lake and pool were drained since it was the off-season, but that was totally fine—we just needed a place to stay while visiting family. The only things I wish the room had were a mini fridge and microwave. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again and explore more , especially once the season starts.

Remote, rustic and beautiful. Internet is a bit flaky, but maybe that’s a positive attribute if your goal is to detox. Service was wonderful .
