Definitely a 3 star property. The location was great and the management friendly and helpful. The hotel rooms have no privacy, the beds were too high, the floors had no rugs. Definitely a compromise for the price.

It was off season which may account for it being so quiet. The use of bikes, canoe, kayaks complete with life jackets all at your fingertips at no cost when ever you needed it, was great. And you are right on the lake!!! Manager and staff were very friendly.
