What a fun place to stay! Loved the lounge, especially on a stormy day. Front desk staff were personable and interested. My room was so comfortable and had all of the extras, coffee/tea on demand, shower amazing, and absolutely loved the retro decor. 8 thumbs up for whoever came up with this idea! I'll be back for sure with my dog. Love that its so dog friendly

Manager could schedule someone to turn Sauna on (pre-heat) in the afternoon as it takes hours to get hot for guests to use in the evening. Also it’s apparently set low because hotel is ‘kid friendly’ …. How about no kids in sauna !!!!!! Also no coffee pouches offered on check in. You’ll need those the the coffee press in room ! Bit slack on the extra details that make the difference.

There is no lake view to start. Its a dried up pond. The hot tub was dirty and they dont have a real firepit. They have a propane one but the staff didnt know how to turn it on when we were there. I felt a little misled with this property. The pictures do not match what you get if you enjoy amenities.
