"This property was amazing with great views. A soak experience comes with your stay but book it early. Parking is on site. It is located on a hill so walking back from town may be challenging for some. Many local tour companies pick-up at this location. The on-site restaurant "Nest" also has an amazing lake view and good menu although we did not eat there as we had other plans. The lounge is cozy with friendly staff and a great food menu as well.
