Unique, beautiful room on lakefront. First rate. We got room for very reasonable price in off season. Location is on a busy road, but noise was not terrible. Room #5 Captains Quarters could have used another chair (1 chair for 2 guests). Staff was very helpful. Cafe downstairs is convenient for a quick lunch and has beautiful views of lake.

It definitely had all the wonderful benefits of a hotel but did not feel like one at all. The rooms had more of a posch & homey feeling as they were not ordinary rectangular shape but had their own nuance of space. The shower was insanely awesome with a waterfall and regular showerhead! It was easy check-in, easy check-out, clean, beautiful views, and the cafe and store attached were really cute, cozy, and delicious. It was a great middle ground place to meet our friends and decompress for the weekend.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room did not have a deck overlooking the water - we were expecting a deck! The room was dark (decor & lighting) & dusty with cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The table was unbalanced with a small porthole window overlooking an electrical power plant. Traffic noise was annoying and the property had minimal food options!
