"Clean room, well appointed, Parking was easy and close to door. I'd go back. Two minor things; the ice machine was a long way from the room and on first floor, and the pillows weren't great (although I always bring my own when possible). One big thing: check-in is 4:00pm. Most are 3:00pm. You lose an hour you have still have to pay for."

"This was the perfect getaway for my husband, myself and our pup! The space was clean and had everything we needed when we wanted to cook some meals. I loved that the location was far enough from the city where you were able to relax, but close enough that it was just a short drive for when we wanted to venture into town. We also took advantage of their pontoon boat rental and it was the perfect day out on the lake! Highly recommend this place for couples wanting a little getaway and extra points if you want to bring your fur baby!"
