The breakfast was fresh. Lots a variety. Something for everyone. Fresh fruit eggs, bacon, sausage, muffins , breads, hot and cold cereals, and great coffee. More like a wonderful breakfast buffet at a really nice restaurant.

I didn’t eat but I saw the variety and people enjoying themselves. Coffee was very good. Room was clean, water was hot. Didn’t miss not having a TV. Elevators accessible; liked having a thermostat in the room. Wish there was a pack of decaf coffee in there. Overall great experience.

This lodge is an Episcopal conference center. Everyone is welcome. The lodge is modern & up to date but our room did not face the lake. The proches overlooking the lake may not be available if there is a private meeting. The rooms do not have a TV or microwave oven. It's a nice quiet place if you want to relax, hike or boat. There is a free buffet breakfast which is nice.

The most beautiful location with beautiful views of the lake. Breakfast included. Lunch and dinner available with limited hours for purchase. Nice playground for small children. Tennis court, basketball court and indoor gym available for use. Highly recommend. Just be careful because the AC unit is high on the wall and will leak onto the ground and soak your belongings if you leave them on the floor!

The property caters more as a Christian retreat for groups. I stayed for one night while on a business trip and was a bit surprised since there were no indicators in the description, but it was not a deal breaker since they state they are open to everyone in their website. Pros: beautiful surroundings, great breakfast and plenty of parking space. Cons: was not informed of the one night stay fee and dinner schedule when checking in (I missed dinner), room smelled and was dirty with mold in the shower (handicapped chair in the shower was not spared), walls are paper thin, floors were sticky and there were holes on the wall from the a/c installation. The inn clearly has potential, but it needs some work.

My best friend and I picked this place spur of the moment while we were driving. The grounds are beautiful and it's very quiet. No microwave or TV in your room which was disappointing. Meals were not a guarantee on site due to them not being super busy of full. Breakfast is nice but its only until 9am. We also picked this place because it was the closest to Pretty Place Chapel, which is still about a 30 minute drive. Staff was really nice! Very helpful, too. Overall, we were happy with our stay. There was a large shower in our room, no bathtub. Good place for getting some peace and quiet at a beautiful place.
