Cons:

Breakfast didn’t offer many options. The only choice of protein was boiled eggs, and on some days there were no eggs available at all. There were no scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, or bread.
Additionally, the balcony was dirty, with spider webs visible throughout the area. It looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time.

If you enjoy quiet lake views, a spacious clean room and friendly staff, this is your lake retreat
Pros:

Everything exceeded our expectations. There is a private beach and picnic tables, chaise lounges, and a small dock. We had a sunset picnic with takeout from a restaurant the hotel staff recommended. Our room had an incredible view of the lake with a balcony. Immaculately clean. They also have an indoor pool, an elevator, and great parking (and an EV charging station).

Cons:

The only issue I had was the wifi was about 16 mg/second so my work's remote desktop kept disconnecting and I spent two hours on the phone with the IT team from work. They said it was an unstable wifi connection that caused the issue. No issue from laptop for regular online viewing though.

We had a nice stay, no issues - just wish we were there during the summer months!
Pros:

Loved the location, the breakfast and the staff.

Cons:

That’s lake was still frozen - I’m sure it’s even more beautiful in the summer months!
