"This place was amazing. The view from our room was excellent. The restaurant was fabulous! Everyone was super friendly. The only draw back for some would be the parking lot is hilly."

"The location is great, being on the main street a very short walk to the shops or trails. Bikes can be rented at the front desk at a cheaper rate for guests. The whole hotel, including the room, was very clean and comfortable, staff were all very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was great and cozy and the staff can even light a bonfire with smores at your request."

Lake View Hotel

Lake View Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was clean. It was smaller than we expected, but given this is an older building that is how it is. There was no microwave in the room and didn't find out until the 2nd day that there was one in a room to the side of the front desk that guests can use. I was very disappointed in two things: the view and the pillows. I specifically called to ask if the lake view rooms have a full lake view and the staff person said "Yes". What they don't tell you is that a third of your view is the roof of the dock building and the shops below, so your eye is drawn to the roof, not to the lake. The pillows were flat and I asked twice for better pillows. The second time I received moderately better pillows but had to also use the decorative chair pillow as that one had better support. The pool was a comfortable temperature which was a pleasant surprise. The hot tub was fine, but why do these hotel hot tubs always hit the top of your rear and not on your back where it that water massage is needed?"
