Septuagenarians on a road trip

Only over nighted on a road trip with wife and small dog on lodge. Accommodated need for mini fridge for meds. No microwave. Clean, comfortable, friendly, would definitely stay for a longer respite. Onsite dinner buffet was good and reasonable price.
Inviting outdoor pool.

The room was not as clean as I would have expected for the price we paid. There were mosquitos in the room. The sidewalks and walkways were not clear of debris. The food we ordered was not thoroughly cooked.

We were in town for a family reunion staying in one of the two bedroom cottages. Our cottage was clean, and stocked. The only thing missing was an extra blanket. We enjoyed our stay and just wish the weather would have been better to explore! We plan to return for another visit!

The lake was beautiful. The room was ok. There's no refrigerator and the sheets were itchy. I didn't like how you have to walk outside and down stairs to get to your room door. The view from the room window was gorgeous. It was nice for a little get away. The staff was nice.
