For foreigners, you have to go 20 minutes down a rock road which runs along the lake. Plenty of options for restaurants along the way. Fairly easy to locate, I would stress that you do not attempt to drive to or from here at night because of the road. The restaurant/bar on site had great food and I ate here each night. Decent alcohol selection. The views are the lake make it worth staying and only a hour or less out from major sites, I used it as my home base. Staff were fantastic

The property is beautiful and the staff is really nice. The road to get there is unpaved and many trucks are on the road. I would love to return but because of our experience on the road I wouldn't return.

The road leading to the hotel should be paved better because it’s very rocky and tough to get there. Also the hotel does offer outstanding service but the food is a bit overpriced.

It was a nice stay overall. It is a road dirt to get there and it was a bit rough but the final destination makes it worth the drive. The location feels safe and the food was very good.

The staff was great and friendly. The hotel, pool, and overall atmosphere was on par. The W-Fi was not consistent, would go out for 5 minutes at least twice a day. The road for the last 3 miles to hotel was not paved and had numerous serious potholes. You definitely need an SUV, especially if rain is forecasted. Really couldn’t leave hotel due to road conditions. Boat ride and jet skis are extra. Food was a plus. After all that I would stay again.

We loved our stay! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Very cool setting— gorgeous lake. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Be prepared to do some planning, and to spend money on excursions. Also, the road to the hotel is not paved, which adds to travel time. All in all, it’s still a great place to stay.

Such a cool and private spot to spend vacation. The setup is great as you can walk down to the pool or the lake, and even eat basically on the lake. I loved it!
