Great location and view. We stayed in a Chalet due to the fact that we had a dog. The Chalets are very old and outdated and you can hear everything from the next door neighbors as they ajoin each other.

As others have stated, this is an older property and could really use an update. We were in a lower room in the main lodge and although the room was clean, the carpet smelled musty and everything just felt tired. Bathroom super cold and uninviting. Towels never dried throughout the day. One of the windows in the bedroom was missing a lock. We did not use the pool but did not look particularly inviting either. Gym consisted of 3 cardio machines. This was a 2 night stay so fine for us . Would not want to stay much longer than that. We had dinner in the restaurant one night and one breakfast. Breakfast was only buffet and was adequate for $18.00. Dinner was also decent although extremely busy in the dining room with a tour bus ( or 2 ) crowd. Had an issue with the wine my partner ordered that was not rectified so he paid for a glass of wine that he had one sip of. It sat there all through the meal and was not acknowledged by the server although he had told her it was too sweet and tasted like apple juice. Huge bright side were the wonderful ladies at the front desk! They were excellent! Quick, efficient check in and out and just generally lovely each time we spoke to them. Parking was also very easy .

Old fashioned lodge and we stayed in the main lodge. At first we thought it needed refurbishment but the bathroom was totally brand new and there was new carpet in the main bedroom, but all in a retro style. Staff were friendly, food was average. Nice view of the lake. All in all a good stay.
