Very nice cabin. Fully supplied kitchen, good WiFi, comfortable bed, nice shower temperature at a good price
This place is beautiful but choose lakeview side but not all of them have the view because if not you’ll be sent Cross the road to mountain way , is clean , comfortable beds the only issue is the few dishes and pants to cook literally for two people only but it’s rent for more so be aware , great location and polite staff
Great stay overall! Clean and solid amount of accommodations in terms of a well stocked kitchen, easy parking, large selection of TV channels, comfortable couches/living room area, warm water, functioning heating unit etc. Only nitpick is was hard to locate at night due to non lit signage. Would have appreciated better signage and/or direction on where cottage was (ie across the street from the main beach facing cottages)
Pictures are very misleading, so be aware of that. It’s a gamble what room you’ll get. Location is great though.
I booked a comfort studio, they gave me a classic studio for half of the stay, I had to argue a little with them to give me the correct room.
Average stay.

we booked this place for our first family Christmas celebration away from home and for an early birthday celebration. It was so BEAUTIFUL! the area is very kid friendly, have space to play in the snow. Bryan the property manager was so accommodating. we would definitely come back, considering it for summer time already also.
Great newly renovated room with kitchen. Perfect size for 2 people and great price. We wanted to add an extra night but had trouble reaching the front desk. It was low season but took a while to be able to add that night.
