"Stunningly beautiful views! Well-maintained and spotlessly clean cottage. Kitchen has everything you need, and there are 2 fridges (one mini in the kitchen, one full with freezer in basement.) Weather was hot a few days during our stay, and the window AC unit in the living room kept the whole cottage cool. The upstairs loft is very cute and cozy but is only accessible via a set of stairs that’s really more like a ladder. Both beds were extremely comfy! Enough parking for 3 cars, which worked well when we had our son’s friends visit for an afternoon. The lake is perfect for swimming and kayaks or canoes. There are restaurants and grocery store about 20 mins away…the cottage is on the far side of the lake. Can’t recommend enough!"

"It was a very cute, “rustic,” and comforting hotel. Close enough to the highway and main road but far enough away that traffic wasn’t bothersome at night. Definitely one of the better hotels we’ve stayed at."

"Really nice rooms, beds, bathrooms and shared space---reading rooms, etc. Spotlessly clean. Beautiful renovated buildings, completely modern and up-to-date inside."

"All amenities and cleanliness of the cabin were excellent. Could do with an iron and ironing board."

"Something happened with my reservation here with my bank and a 3rd party app. So my reservation got canceled. I called the hotel and Cory answered and was very understanding and very helpful. I thought I was roomless over 1000 miles from home but he saved the day. He blocked a family suite so when we arrived it would be avaliable for us to check in. He didn't rush us and told us take our time and recommended places to eat on the way to the hotel. Our original room got booked due to the app cancelation but he put us in a room nearby identical just wasn't pool side. After our first night he moved us into the room we wanted for the rest of our stay. This hotel is under current renovation adding a bar and a food menu. Cory made us some chicken to try that he plans to put in the menu and it was fantastic! Rooms were very clean and comfortable. All staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return in the future. The owners of this hotel are very lucky to have Cory. He goes above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful stay. The breakfast is good. They have a pancake machine thats really cool to watch work. They also have pool tables to play on and a few arcade machines that we enjoyed. The swimming pool was a touch chilly at first but once you got used to it you were good. This area is hikers climbers and bikers dream come true. I cant wait to go back!"

"This is not an upscale hotel but it is perfect for any traveler. Even the sheets are beautiful. "

"They have rescue cats roaming around the lobby. "

"We absolutely loved our stay here. We definitely want to come back. We had just gotten married the week before and we’re looking for some peace and quiet and this was perfect. I love all of the character this place has. It was so comfortable and cozy!"

"We had a great time at Leon and Elaine's cabin. The cabin itself is well set up and we had all the essentials we needed for sleeping, cooking, and bathing. The outside space is great, we had a fire almost every night and paddled as far as we dared on the large lake which is easily accessible from multiple points on the property. Leon was very helpful with information and supplies and patiently made friends with our shy dog over the course of 6-ish days. There's some great hiking near by and a medium-sized grocery store about 20 minutes away. We would stay again."
