The lake was beautiful. The room was ok. There's no refrigerator and the sheets were itchy. I didn't like how you have to walk outside and down stairs to get to your room door. The view from the room window was gorgeous. It was nice for a little get away. The staff was nice.

Disliked: Amenities

The rooms were very outdated. Worst of all is there was no mini fridge or microwave, so you had to go out for all meals. We were there over a holiday weekend. The dining room was open for all meals and the food was good, but you could not order one or two items from the menu. The wait staff were friendly. The pool looked well maintained but we did not get the opportunity to try it out.

We loved our stay. Ate breakfast at the lodge restaurant. The eggs were horrible and everyone in the restaurant that ordered eggs were not satisfied. I feel we should have been given a discount on our food. other that that, our stay was great
