There was no one there to check in with. No staff. Apparently they only work until a certain time of day and if you don't check in by then you dont get a room.

I will definitely go back

I really enjoyed being on the lake with my puppies. I didn’t see a way to recycle but I also didn’t ask. It was comfortable and clean. I liked it a lot.

I loved the room with high ceiling, beautiful fireplace, great scenery from the deck, and thd carpet was a great touch to make it cozy. Check in/out was very easy. The two things i wasnt thrilled about was the stains on the tub and that the staff weren't available in person. Very comfortable stay and would highly recommend!!

One nighter

It was a nice quiet place. Close to the lake which was nice. I had my dog with me and they didn't charge a crazy amount for having him with. The TV was a little bit difficult to maneuver. I think there were issues with the remote. It could have had a few more amenities. Tissue hair dryer. Just the little things that make you stay a little better. Overall it was a nice place. Check in went smoothly.
