A cute location within 30 minutes of Highland National Park. Nothing fancy but adequate. The rooms are pet friendly and thus had a powerful scent of deodorizer which was borderline nauseating. Would be fine if you brought a smelly dog!? The heater was noisy but the outside temperature allowed us to turn it off overnight.

We stayed in the 2-level block of rooms next to the restaurant and reception with a lake view and balcony. These are the nicer more renovated rooms.They number in the 30's. Restaurant only had a buffet breakfast the morning we were there. A very expensive $60. Friendly staff and service.

Not impressed - Poor experience
Our room seemed good until the shower and toilet was used. strong septic smell. Office only opened to 7 so had to get the manager to come who agreed but could not fix. No other room available. Asked for a credit and ended up being kicked out of our hotel room at 930 at night having to find another place to stay. Would not recommend. Not impressed.

If you are looking at this property to book and you are ok with the rate you get, do not hesitate and book. The rooms at this property have all been renovated and are great!!! New beds , tv, air conditioning and new bathroom. The new owner has done a great job at upgrading the property so you should ignore the old reviews before renovations were done. You get free cable tv with lots of channels and access to Netflix. Amazon prime etc if you have subscriptions. Room has refrigerator and microwave. The breakfast was really good at a reasonable price !! I will definitely book here again if I return to the area.

The innkeepers were friendly. The overall property needed modernized but our room was recently updated. We ordered oatmeal for breakfast and although simple, it hit the spot and our server was very nice.

This is a gem of an Inn to stay at. The couple who owns it is very very friendly and took time to chat. The breakfast was awesome. The view is spectacular. We would not hesitate to return to this facility, and we would certainly highly recommend it. Thanks very much.
