A beautiful historic building with great views of the lake and mountains. The first room I stayed in was worn down, with cracks and wrinkles in the wallpaper and a missing lampshade. However, the second room I stayed in was much nicer.

A beautiful place but a bit out dated

The hotel needs to be updated but the outside is gorgeous! And it was clean in our room. The pillows were very uncomfortable but again the room was clean. Checking in and out was simple. I also want to add it is a Christian based hotel. I didn’t know that when I booked.

Great property location, very nice common area with ice machine and microwave. Outdoor Balconies provided nice lake views but could use some cleaning of dust and cobwebs. Booking was for a center Economy room that ended up with a view of air conditioner units; single bathroom light was on a 15 minute timer that had to constantly be reset. Very basic but affordable. Now that I understand the property layout, would try to be more specific on room location/choice.

Clean, safe and inexpensive.

The location is great. The rooms were no frills. Basic room, no fridge, small coffee maker, TV. Small room, very bland and basic. Kind of reminded me of summer camp dorm rooms. They have an amazing view from the outside balcony area. They have rocking chairs to chill and enjoy. The staff was friendly. It was basic but worth the price. To find a clean room. good,safe location with those views for under a hundred, it was worth it.

The view, and the grounds are amazing. But you have to drive to the pool it is on the other side of the lake. They should inform you this as it is misleading to say they have a pool. The bed is a little hard But ample pillows and towels were a plus. The landscaping is very well done. There was no dining option. Front Desk person was uninformed and sent me to a restaurant that was closed on the 4th of July. I asked a staff a question and they spoke no English. But overall, this is a nice place.
