The Trailsman was an excellent place to stay. Check in was smooth. The staff are very helpful. The continental breakfast has both hot and cold choices. The woman serving breakfast is very good at her job. The view of the lake from the deck off the room is beautiful.

We loved this quiet clean room with its great view. The deck chairs were bright and comfortable. We knew it was off-season so didn't expect the pool but would have appreciated knowing the complimentary breakfast wasn't yet available.

Great location and a wonderful view from our unit. One major problem was that the television was too small and did not work with access to a limited number of channels and a very poor screen quality.

The view of the lake was simply superb, however, the back garden was full of goose droppings. Needs to be cleaned, it’s taking away the charm that the view provides.

Everything was nice. Beds + pillows were comfy. Despite the highway being right in front and our front door facing it we were surprised how quiet it was all night. We never heard a car go by. The back yard to the water was beautiful. Very nice deck on the front and back decks. Breakfast was standard hotel fare and hot. No microwave in the room but I read they had one in the lobby. Fridge in room which was nice. All around a very nice stay. Would recommend it.
