It was a surprise that this is a self check in. It turned out ok. I got quick responses and uploaded my ID credit cards easily. Room is clean. Guests came in mid night to the unit above mine. I was kept awake due to the noise from people walking around and chatting. The heating fan was loud. Showers lukewarm for the most part.

Everything was great in the check-in process and the room. However, we were on the 2nd floor and it was a snowy, cold weekend. So the stairs going up were snow-covered and needed to be cleared of ice and snow build-up. Especially for us old folks!

Room and property were in great condition. As advertised, no staff on-site, though the lobby was open with any needed extras available. Only issue we had was that the rooms are prepared so that there is lite jazz music playing upon your arrival, which can be very nice and welcoming. However, the music is always on until the person renting it arrives for the night, and the music is set loud enough that it can be heard in neighboring rooms. One night it was nearly 11:30pm before someone arrived. Spoke with someone, via their text messaging system, who assured me that going forward the property caretaker will be instructed to leave the music at a much lower setting.

The area in the back would have been very nice if you are traveling with a group/family. We didn't know about the use of canoes until to late in the day for us to enjoy. The room was clean but a little on the small side. I personally don't like the no staff check-ins where they send you a code and there is no one in the office. But, we did not have any issues while we were there.
