When arriving in the room there was no fireplace! Look at the pictures when booking….it shows a fireplace! When asking about switching to a room with a fireplace…we needed to let them know sooner! It was less than 5 minutes. I use Expedia a lot and have not run into this before! We will not stay at this property again and will do reviews on trip advisor and Expedia!

don’t misunderstand about the studio suite room
The accommodation was clean and okay, but it was quite different from what was described. We booked the highest-rated studio suite lake view for four people, but all we had was a queen-sized bed and a sofa that only one person could lie on. There was a large separate room by the lake (as shown in the photo), but it was not that place; instead, it was a building like an inn. We could barely fit the kids to sleep, but it was definitely not a room for four people to sleep in. The 2 beds and 1 sofa mentioned in the reservation were not there. I asked over the phone, and they said this was the correct room, so I hope people booking do not make a mistake.

A very important thing to note about these rooms is that even if they say lakeside, they are actually roadside. There is not a view of the lake from the lakeside rooms and if you are in one of the rooms along the road, it can be noisy. Our comfort studio could have been nice, but things like a shower door we had to put back on the tracks and drafty windows in the winter took away from the comfort. It's an area that has the potential to be great, but the general listing is misleading for what we actually received.
