absolutely gorgeous spot at the end of flower lake. We were happily surprised to see that kayaks and paddle boards were available and free for use on the lake. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Give us great guidance on where to hike and eat and familiarize us with the area.

Overall moderate stay at the property. Hotel seems to be old, rooms are of good size, but we faced problems with door locks, room lighting and AC. Some common places were not cleaned properly too. There is no restaurant at the hotel but there are others within 1-2 miles. You can order food at the hotel too. Staff seems to be less too, mostly we preferred DIY for anything needed. Hotel is situated at the lake side so, you can avail the kayak and small boats for free.

This unexpectedly turned into a solo trip for me, I was really nervous, it was my first solo trip and as a female it can be scary. But I felt safe there, I could enjoy my time, my room was so nice and perfect, it was everything I needed. The kayaks were super convenient to put in and take out if the water. The man at the front desk was so nice, and I will absolutely be back and recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

Needs more work
I really wanted to like this place. I’m fine with retro vibe until it goes south. Location-great! Right on the water, and we took a canoe out for a two hour paddle. Killer sunsets. Life jackets- not safe, old and broken. Room: please remove the following in room 33: moldy shower curtain, chipped drinking glass, sinking old chairs that have my chin right at the level of the table. Also, you’re not eco friendly if you have single use soaps and shampoos. Please go to a flea market and find a shelf for the bathroom, and seating for more than two people if you have a room that can accommodate four. I’ve stayed in other retro hotels (see Bend, OR) and they know what to keep and what to replace.

Ok Hotel
It's an ok hotel. Its a bit of an old place and could use some TLC. Very small hotel grounds on the lake. Great view of sunset if you the the rooms with patio or balcony. Free canoes life vests etc.

Views of the lake were great as were the staff, super friendly and helpful. Good free amenities to enjoy the outdoors. The room could be a bit more functional with the addition of a small dining table or desk - there was plenty of room for it. Also the bathroom could use some updating.

My fantasy Island
We love it here. A very old hotel but staff could not be more accomidating. We go as often as we can to enjoy the boats (which are free) and the scenery. They have a good ice machine and each room has a microwave and small fridge. Close to hood Mexican and chinese restaurants as well as a brewery and grocery store. Dunkin and McDonalds right there too.
