A winter stay in this cabin was not a good choice. Snow blew in under the door, floor heating units not great and carpet frayed and furniture very old. Beds squeaky and soft. The sheets and towels were clean and the breakfast had some nice muffin choices. The hotel lobby was clean and tidy and decorated for the holidays nicely. Really pretty view of the frozen lake.
Our stay was excellent, staff was very friendly. Including their ‘furry friend’ staff. Dennis was such a good boy! Rooms could use a little updating, but over all comfortable and accommodating. Excellent view of the lake. Very beautiful property.
Bed was not comfortable and the pool closed at 8 wish it was open longer. We didn’t arrive until 8

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The Golden Retriever Security as well as the all the Staff were exceptional.
The hot tub closes at 8pm. Definatly an issue.
It is soo dark in many guest areas. Not a fan of that.
The resort needs some love in the hallways, stairs, bathrooms, and pool area.
The room smelled, it was dirty and the towels had stains. The water was hard and smelled so awful. The beds had stains and were not comfortable. The “breakfast” was a joke. So so disappointed.
There was cracked electrical outlets, burned out light bulbs not replaced and they didn’t give us any extra toilet paper. Basically the room was not properly maintained.
