Comfortable place and beautiful setting overlooking the lake. The guest lounge was especially nice. Unfortunately, the dining facility is under renovation, so the breakfast buffet was only adequate. It should be completed soon.

It was a very peaceful place. Unfortunately there were blood stains on the sheets, and no microwave in the room.
Rooms are a bit outdated, staff is great.
