Guest reviews
Stays our guests still talk about.
We booked two nights and stayed four. Waking up to mist on the lake from the window seat in the Cedar Suite is something we will never forget.
The sauna on the jetty, then a jump into the lake, then dinner by the fire. Staff remembered our names and our dog's name too.
Check-in on my phone, a key that just worked and a room that smelled of cedar. The quietest night of sleep I have had in years.
