Amazing view
It was a very good location cl9se from all of our destinations. The room was clean, updated and comfortable. The great perk of this place is the amazing view from every single room from the terrace and the restaurant.

Came up for my birthday and the hotel was a great place to kick it off. The view alone was worth it! Great setup for night time relaxing and the food was delicious at the restaurant too

Great view!
The hotel and restaurant were good and in a very convenient location. The views were great! Our room was on the lower building in the back, while the room was clean the space next to it was not updated and appeared to be a work area.

Loved the balcony overlooking the lake! The restaurant is only open Wed-Fri so we missed that experience. Convenient to the places we wanted to go. The GM-Hayley- was helpful, friendly and laughed at all of our jokes! Very pleasant!

Stayed for 2 nights. The 2 room king was perfect as we had friends also staying at the hotel. After a day of visiting breweries, we were all able to get together and end the day hanging out in the living room. View of the lake was amazing and the location is perfect.

The individual private balconies facing the lake make this place special!
We stayed in Room 113. The room was clean and updated.
There was no daily room service so we had to go the front desk to request additional coffee pods, cups, and towels, but this wasn’t a big deal for us.
It’s not walkable to anything except for the onsite restaurant, so you’ll need to get in your car to go anywhere. We did have breakfast at the onsite restaurant one day and it was good, with a great view.

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!
