Steve

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Thought the property sits on the lakefront, most of the rooms have a view of the outdoor restaurant or the roof over the restaurant Instead of the lake. The onsite restaurant is only open from Memorial Day thru Labor Day, and there are no restaurants within walking distance for breakfast. Will not stay there again.
