If you are interested in an uber conservative stay this is the place for you. Very scenic view. Rooms comparable to Motel 6. Space and rooms are dated. Small bathrooms. Friendly Staff.

Awesome stay! I do wish that the trolley had started running at the beginning of the weekend (it was Memorial Day weekend and the pool opened Saturday but no trolley until Sunday). Everything was great with the room. The only complaint is that the beds are not incredibly comfortable but would not keep us from returning. Looking forward to our next trip!

The hotel is nice. The service was the best part. We had an issue with our AC unit in the room and they immediately found a solution. Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly. Definitely recommend this hotel if you’re wanting a quiet getaway.

The view, and the grounds are amazing. But you have to drive to the pool it is on the other side of the lake. They should inform you this as it is misleading to say they have a pool. The bed is a little hard But ample pillows and towels were a plus. The landscaping is very well done. There was no dining option. Front Desk person was uninformed and sent me to a restaurant that was closed on the 4th of July. I asked a staff a question and they spoke no English. But overall, this is a nice place.
