Very beautiful property with 24/7 continental breakfast. Self serve canoe to use, fire pit and close to NYS walking trails. Our room overlooked the lake with Adirondack chairs outside the room. I wish we stayed another night so we could enjoy the restaurant.

The location is top notch. The rooms can use some updating. While the restaurant is convenient the menu could be expanded with more choices beyond pub grub. If you're looking for a place to kick back with spectacular views this is it.
