Enjoyed the easy lake access, where we were able to leave the boat in the water at their small dock. Just to note, in case you miss the fine print, this is a lodge where half of the rooms front the lake and the other half from the street. You’re still able to use all amenities and the owners were very accommodating and friendly! ##### Tina B.

Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jul 18, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Two horrible nights to remember. It seemed like the owner of the property had a couple of parties in the patio area next to our room both nights we stayed there. We had trouble sleeping, and we woke up several times to screams, barks from the owner’s dog, and people singing. There was little to no privacy, and the folks we encountered were not particularly friendly or polite to us. I can’t imagine that what we experienced was unique to us, so I have a hard time believing the reviews I found online after being there ourselves. Very disappointing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful property!
