Photos are a little deceiving. Some rooms are updated / renovated, and some are not. We stayed in an older room (not updated) and the bathroom was not great. Faucet was difficult to use, the shower was a single stall and uncomfortable, window was single pane and bathroom was really cold the entire stay. The room was clean which was nice, and the window unit worked well to keep the sleeping area warm. Staff was friendly but you have to call to get someone to the office. Property is a little run down. Not a bad stay for the price, but be sure to ask for an updated room if possible.
Perfect spot for a couples getaway! Cozy, clean rooms, friendly staff, and a quiet atmosphere. Loved being close to the lake and local restaurants—great value and romantic setting

The room was simple but clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed and all the basics I needed — mini-fridge, microwave, good Wi-Fi, and cable TV. The heating worked well, and I appreciated the easy check-in process.
