We loved the stay and the location was great overlooking the Seneca lake. The staff, especially at the restaurant was very friendly and accommodating, the restaurant ambience and food was exceptional. Unfortunately, had to cut short our visit due to personal reasons, but plans to return in the nearby future.

Nice hotel cabin style with balcony and views of Lake Seneca about 1 miles from downtown Glen Watkins; easy access and nice renovated rooms - there is a restaurant on site and check in is until 9 pm so one needs to make arrangements for late check in. Easy access to the famous state park and the gorge trail. Would stay again if in the area.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, but the covers were thin with no additional blanket. The views were beautiful- This place has huge potential if the owners paid a bit more attention to the overall property appearance and the restaurant quality

I loved our balcony but would have loved even more to be able to order coffee/breakfast to the room. I think room service would be a great service with the kitchen being upstairs.
