The property is under construction so not appealing to the eye however the lake is beautiful. There was an issue with Asian Beetles in the room. There was no other space available for us to move to so we had to deal with it. We were offered a vacuum to suck of the bugs ourselves.

This was a unique and fun place actually. Nothing fancy, but an adequate place to get a good night sleep as we traveled across the country. There were lots of renovations and construction going on, which really obscured the view of the lake, but since we were just passing through that was not an issue for us.

For an overnight stay while traveling, it was great. Check in after 6 pm was a phone call. A nice clean room with all the amenities, including a fireplace..went out on deck and looked at lake from a short distance. Hill City is a nice, little small town...

The property was not kept up. We checked in and looked at our room and decided to get in the car and drive an hour further west to find a nicer place to stay. For us it just was not a very nice place. The man checking us in was nice.
