The room was beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable overall. The only small challenge for me was the shower, which was quite compact — I managed fine, just a little squishy as a bigger girl. That said, it certainly didn’t take away from the experience. The property itself was absolutely stunning, and I would happily stay there again.

Great location. Friendly welcome . Good size room with really great view of the lake either from the ample outdoors furniture or from the settee in the room. Excellent base
