There was no hot water, the water pressure was non existent. The mini fridge took forever to get cold. However the bed was comfortable and the staff was very nice. Would stay again if only for a short stay. Location was also very convenient

The property needs deep cleaning and renovation. There was a strong stale smell, and evidence of the last guests. Fake eyelashes on the wall/toilet. Food or drinks spilled on walls, hair and dirt on floor.

It was Dirty! Didn’t even come close to looking like the pictures. I will never stay there again . We had no water the last day . We had to cancel our plans because we couldn’t shower . We were going to be charged for an extra day if we stayed to see if the water was going to get fixed. The place is need of serious TLC! Over priced for sure ! Added only a few pictures . Spider webs and spiders everywhere. Had to duck in order to get in . Puck on the deck !

The cutest little room. Nothing super fancy but got the job done. BUT OUR FAVORITE THING. Is the Lake is only 100 feet from our door, you could walk forever up and down the beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful! Will be back
