Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The cleanest room I think I've ever seen. Awesome, large, walk-in shower. Spacious room. Clean, vinyl/tile floors -- no dirty carpet. The only complaint that I have: Dock are stored (seasonally) just outside near the deck, ruining the otherwise gorgeous lake view. Off the beaten path, but well worth the drive!
