I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The location was fantastic, overlooking the lake and filled with well-maintained surroundings, though it was busy with a kids' party. The service was friendly, with a lovely upgrade to a suite with a lake view and a thoughtful note and snack awaiting me. However, the dining options were limited and slightly overpriced. Overall, a great experience with some minor drawbacks.

My stay at the lodge was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was gorgeous, overlooking the lake, but there were lots of kids around for a party, which could get loud. The service had its ups and downs, with friendly staff but issues with billing. The dining experience was satisfying but a bit pricey for simple items like coffee. The overall value for money was decent, considering the beautiful setting and amenities.

The hotel had a lovely location with a view of seeing all the Deer around. The rooms were spacious and modern with comfortable beds, but lacked a microwave. The service was mediocre, with some staff being very people friendly and professional while others lacked regard for public safety. The dining options were satisfactory but seemed overpriced. The facilities were convenient but not luxurious as expected.

Staying at the lodge was a mixed experience. The rooms offered a nice outdoor space with a deck or patio, but unfortunately, they smelled musty. The kind note and cheese/fruit plate in the suite overlooking the lake were thoughtful touches, yet the musty smell was off-putting. The service ranged from being friendly and accommodating to occasionally snarky. The location, overlooking the lake and situated in a State Park with walking trails, was wonderful, although it seemed to be quite popular for children's parties. The dining experience was average, with satisfying options but at a slightly higher price range. The facilities were decent with various amenities available.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and had a lovely view of the lake with cute wildlife around, but they could use some updating to have a more cohesive theme. The service was friendly overall, but I faced a billing issue that is still unresolved. The location, despite being wonderful and having well-maintained surroundings, was noisy due to a children's party. The dining options were limited with higher prices, and the only available option was just okay. The facilities were decent, but improvements could enhance the overall experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were conveniently located with a deck to enjoy the outdoors, but proximity to a common play area could be noisy at times. The lodge guest rooms and conference meeting rooms were well laid out. However, service was lacking in cleanliness and attention to public safety measures. The location was beautiful, overlooking the lake and full of lively activities, but had some negative incidents. The dining experience was satisfying but a bit overpriced.

The hotel offers me beautiful views over the lake from the lobby and dining room, just a stone's throw away from a common play area. The location is wonderful with many walking trails easily accessible, although it was full of kids for some type of a party. The service was lacking in basic safety measures and attention, but wedding services, laundry, newspaper service, and a computer connection are available. The dining experience was okay but a bit overpriced for simple items like a cup of coffee. Overall, the facilities are decent, although some improvements are needed.
