Nicest staff, amazing ???? views and great food!! We come back every year for breakfast the day we have to leave for all these... reasons. The lobby is gorgeous and inviting in the outdoorsy way you look for up here and I spied their ATVs out back - thinkingabout that for next year!! Read more
Nice lodge with a great location on the lake and close to the main street with restaurants and shops. We enjoyed using the... hydro-bikes and spending time by the lake. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Liam at the marine is the epitome of a greatemployee! Read more
Decent rooms, but air con smelt like stunt socks. The rental bikes are just cheap Walmart bikes but they work good enough. The... pedal boats are very fun! Good views and good food. It is also next to hidden valley which is a good mountain biking location Read more
Resort is in prime location for lake access (with complimentary use of canoes, kayaks, etc?shout out to Liam who was excellent... in assisting with use of equipment and holding nightly campfire) and easy access to local attractions and trails. Resort wasclean and staff was friendly. The restaurant has limited seating making it very difficult for hotel guests to eat there unlessyou make a reservation far in advance (did not need to make reservations at other restaurants in town). The food at therestaurant is good, but very oily/greasy with minimal healthy options. Resort also doesn?t have spa services (refers you tolocal spa that is booked weeks out). Overall experience was good, but question the high cost with minimal ?resort? benefits. Would likely return if nightly prices were lower. Read more
The lodge is old but The rooms seem clean and taken care of. Very nice views from our room. Rooms were Expensive. Food was good... at their resturant and fairly priced with good service. I tried to have an item (1page) emailed to the person at the front deskand have her print it off but she would not do that. Poor service there Read more
The rooms are nice, well kept. Since I live here, I use the GEL for meetings, dinners and luncheons with occasional visits to... the lounge. The food is always first rate, with great servers. The bartenders know their craft and very personable. The poolalways seems to be busy and unlike other hotel pools, I have never smelled the chlorine (a major plus, imo). Read more
