"A very well-appointed B & B property with stunning views of the lake and wonderful amenities. However, check-in could have been easier (code OK, but don't forget * key in the client entrance advice). Also, the division of rooms and amenities was a bit confusing. Was everything available for use for all guests, or not? Caretaker couple, though, was top-notch -- informative, friendly, helpful. Plus, breakfast spread of goodies was primo! John M.
