I was pleasantly suprised from the moment I opened the door. Not only was the room spacious and charming, it just felt clean... and it was! The bed was comfortable and the shower hot. If I could change one thing, it would be the pillows. They are terrible!! They are like lumpy bricks. Lol. That said, I would absolutely stay here again. I have photos to add but it wont let me for some reason. Rest assured, this place is super cute and cozy!

Good and bad. Loved the log furniture and decor. Nice deck with views of the lake. I did feel that the property was misrepresented, though. We upgraded to a fireplace room. It was electric. Mini golf was a small piece of turf with a few cups cut into it. Hot tub was warm not hot. Received maid service 1 out of 3 days…not daily. Talked with front desk about having the room cleaned…but all we got was fresh towels and coffee pods. Ask for a top floor room…we were kept awake by the party upstairs.
