our room was spotless. the staff member when we checked in (I believe he is also the owner) was great! Made sure we had everything we needed and made sure I had his personal number in case we needed anything. You can tell he is putting a lot of work into updating. This place is naturally beautiful and only going to get better. Thank you for having us and our 3 dogs. We had a great experience and look forward to coming back next year!

Staff was very helpful, the room was lovely and clean, and the view and access to Island Pond was beautiful. My only recommendation is to offer more amenities like a hair dryer, conditioner, bottled water, etc.
