One night stay for a winery tour. Comfortable and clean room. Beautiful view. No complaints. Nice amenities in shower. Coffeemaker, microwave , and fridge in room. Friendly check in and restaurant. Food just ok tho. But restaurant was convenient. Maybe needed to make different choices.

Beautiful scenery

Beautiful scenes set in the ledge of the lake. Quiet and just outside the main stretch of town. Everything was within 5 mins of our location. Small town vibe was just as quaint.

We had an awesome experience at this place! The view was amazing and it was super quiet and peaceful! We were told on this website that check in was at 3, but staff is in the process of switching hours so our keys were just there. Also the wifi password doesn’t work! But other than that, I will be returning back to this place!
