This was a lovely property. Only issue was the TV. Could barely get it to work. The front desk was of two opinions as to how to get it to work -- we lost out in the process. Get better remotes or better train your personnel to operate what you have.

Older facility but nice overall

The facility is an older building but kept up well. The beds were very comfortable, and the balcony overlooking the lake gave a beautiful view. The carpet seemed like it needed a good cleaning, though. Otherwise, breakfast was good, the grounds were beautiful, and the staff were kind and helpful.
