The property itself is gorgeous. It’s right on the lake. However….. there is no bar/restaurant inside or connected to the hotel. The breakfast wasn’t a lot, just toast or muffins. Our first morning/full day there there was NO hot water and we couldn’t shower. Checked with front desk, they didn’t care or seemed concerned and said owner didn’t care. We were there 5 days and we finally received fresh towels our last night there. We still loved the place! The staff was very nice, lobby was nice and comfortable. It was perfect as it was close to the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary which we were there for. There’s a family owned cafe right down the road that had great food, The Pattens. And a grocery store so you could grab snacks if needed.

This would have been a solid place and my review would have been "shabby but fine" until there was ZERO hot water all morning. We stayed here three nights. One early in our trip and two nights at the end. Our room was clean if outdated and basic. It still had good value. There is a continental breakfast that is fine. The pool and dining room are not operating currently. Staff were pleasant but indifferent. Not problem solvers or especially hospitality-minded. There often isn't anyone at the desk and ringing the bell does not actually summon anyone. It's a very basic hotel on par with a cheap chain motel. Which would be fine but not having enough hot water for guests in the morning is inexcusable. I wanted to ask the desk when hot water would be available but no one was there.

Had a dock for boat. Could take boat downtown to eat. Property was probably really great in the day. Too bad it is run down and no longer in its prime. It would have been nice to have the pool, restaurant and bar up and running.

Fantastic customer service and property. However the pool and hot tub were drained and closed. The only reason we paid the higher rate for this place versus the motel down the road was for the pool because I have 2 small boys with me. Pretty disappointed in the fact I paid over 200…..

Misrepresented making it overpriced. Location and grounds are beautiful. The room was spacious and comfortable. However, the pool and relaxation wing of the hotel was closed for remodeling(?) but I was not told of this before we arrived. I would not pay regular rates when so many amenities are (temporarily?) not included.
