10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel right on the lake with a very small, shallow beach. Free paddle boards and kayaks. Huge rooms with balconies overlooking the lake. Outstanding breakfast buffet included. Hotel even better condition than when we stayed 2 years ago. Staff is super friendly, but only one woman running the whole place in the evening."
