Great place to stay, beautiful views. Was provided ear plugs, wasn’t sure why, then we found out the next morning. People upstairs walking was loud, so we figured that’s what the ear plugs were for. Other than being woken up at the crack of Dawn we actually really loved this place! Will definitely come back but will get a cabin next time to avoid the loud noises!

Check in was easy and the the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The beds weren't the most comfy but not horrible either. The area was super quiet and we loved being so close to the lake. There is even a lovely patio area with benches and a fire pit which was so nice. No ironing board or iron which we found odd. We had a slight issue with ants in the bathroom but being up in the mountains we sort of expect to find a few bugs here and there. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and will stay here again.
