Not worth it.
Pros:

It was very warm and well insulated.

Cons:

Found so much hair in my room and bathroom(even on fresh towels). when i told staff they didnt seem overly surprised or apologetic. they cleaned my room again but left a rag and it was just overall at a below average cleanliness level and i did find other hairs afterwards too. We were given an accessible room and the water just went everywhere, so we had to use every towel after a shower to keep the floor relatively dry. it was just very poorly designed bathroom. Breakfast was horrible. Overpriced and the fruit had been sitting from the previous day/days? Mislabelled items and stale bread. Some staff were nice and some were rude. Definitely not worth the price point and to be so far out of town.

Along the lake, easy to get to and from.
Far enough from road so nice and quiet.
Ample parking

Cons:

Was just too far away for a walk to nearby restaurant in the winter, should be fine in the summer months.

It was a relaxing stay, with beautiful views of the lake and mountains that can be views from the comfort of your room.
Pros:

Beautiful location with stunning views. Loved the shuttle service to and from the hotel, they ran every hour so was convenient. Beds and room were very comfortable. Staff were all friendly and always willing to help. We stayed for 7 nights during winter and rooms were always warm and well insulated.

Cons:

Don’t really have any complaints, had an overall pleasant stay.
