Pas sûr de revenir
Pros:

La situation au bord du lac

Cons:

Personnel peu serviable voire désagréable, nous n’avons jamais u obtenir une facture que devait nous donner l’hôtel donc on ne sait pas ce que nous avons payé ! Hotel « pet friendly » sauf que dans ce cas vous avez une chambre sur le parking sans réduction et en payant des frais pour notre chien…

The location and view was perfect. I just suggest that you bring your own towels and pillows.
Pros:

The location was great

Cons:

The beds were like sleeping on a box spring and the towels were paper thin, the pillows were the same as you’d put on your out door furniture.
Beds and bedding is very important to feel the hotel was worth it..

Great place in a great location.
Pros:

The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The grounds are spacious, beautifully maintained, and truly inviting. We especially loved the graceful old trees throughout the property, with chairs tucked beneath them here and there—perfect spots to find shade on a warm day and simply relax.

Our guest room was comfortable, spotless, and welcoming. The location is absolutely breathtaking. We brought two kayaks and appreciated the excellent access and support for launching them. The hotel is also just a short walk from downtown, with a wonderful coffee shop conveniently located right around the corner.

We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back!

I’d stay again . Be nice if they included an hour kayak ride in the price of the room
Pros:

Pretty place

Cons:

Sounded like all the bedroom doors needed to be slammed to close …. Surely they know they need adjusting for the peace
