No fridge so make sure to have a little cooler to keep drinks cold. They do have an ice machine which cane in handy for us.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Worth the $1 admission for the view. Be prepared for a lot of steps. Kitschy souvenir store with good variety of knick-knacks.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

It’s not an “incredible” place to visit. If you’re there and have so much time to spend then you can consider going over there but honestly it’s just a point from where you can see the lake and that’s it basically.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It’s 170 steps to the top but we did enjoy  the view of the fall colors and the lake.

5/5 - Excellent
