Had my installation crew up here for a couple of days on a big job. They just reported back to me that the hotel did not have running water or electricity in the room. No generator and staff is very hard to find. They had to go to the golf course to use the washroom. very disappointed

Lovely room, very clean, owner was so very accommodating about a late check in; however there was no shampoo or soap or any toiletries. Similar situation at breakfast, I had to ask for butter for my toast, same for the jam and a napkin. Not sure why the stinginess with what most hotels provide automatically.

Golden lake is the best option to enjoy summer time with family and friends. The option of the chalet is great for a family and the magnificent lake is the most enjoyable experience.
