Beach and waterfront access
The hotel has a private beach area directly on the water. Guests can fish, canoe (at an additional charge), or simply use the outdoor furniture and picnic area along the shore. The outdoor fireplace extends the usable season into cooler months.

The indoor swimming pool and hot tub mean bad weather does not end the day. A separate fitness center is also on site, so guests with regular workout routines do not have to break them.

- Cleanliness issues in some units (dirty window sills, poor vacuuming, bad smells)
- No staff on site after 10pm; key/check-in issues reported
“The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, the best sleep we've ever had. The pool was warm and the hot tub great. We canoed around the lake for free.”
“Absolutely gorgeous outlook over the lake - the restaurant food was beautiful and the staff were so friendly.”
“It's kind of caravans. Can't call it hotel, not resort for sure. But you have to pay the resort fee. After 10pm no staff.”
“Bed was super hard, pillows were limp… the place said resort. Pics looked beautiful. Nothing as described. Extremely disappointed.”
“Didn't realise we'd have to drive half a mile down the road from the lake resort to our room at the ski resort.”
