"excellent place to stay, close to the village, lake, and Bear Mountain. Room was very clean with nice toiletries, coffee, tea, fridge, and cubbies for storage. The bed was SO comfy! Only complaint would be the wifi and Netflix reception weren't good... kept buffering throughout the whole movie, so finally gave up watching."
