We love that the beach access is very convenient and beautiful view. The only downside is the geese’s stool around the beach and volleyball court, but I we understand that its part of the nature. We had fun, will definitely come back.

We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into the studio cottage. It was very clean, kitchen was well stocked with nice quality dishwater & cookware. You can tell the care that was put into everything in the space, nothing was old or outdated. We will definitely be staying here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The property was clean, well-maintained, and located in a very convenient spot. One of the highlights was the lovely area by the lake – perfect for relaxing or just enjoying the view. Our room was a bit noisy since it was right next to the road, but the staff was incredibly helpful and responsive. They quickly offered a quieter room for us. We appreciated the excellent service. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful property. Peaceful stay. Read the fine print though and make sure if you book it expecting beach front that you be careful to select it…we almost didn’t get a beach front we were expecting because of expedias description but staff was awesome and worked with us. Beautiful comfy cozy place to stay

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
When I saw this hotel and their photo's I was so excited to stay there. I booked a room with a queen bed and 2 twins. We were supposed to have access to a private beach, Voleyball court, a pool, and picnic area. When we checked in we had to drive down the road further to actually get to our room. The pool was located across the street from the main check in office. The private beach was 2 feet worth of rocks and water. The room we got was a King bed with 2 couches that were supposedly the 2 twin beds. When I called the office about all of thise we were told that was the only rooms they offered. So, very disappointed in the false advertisement of this hotel. Room was clean at least. Will not be staying here again. Not worth the money for what was advertised vs what we got.
