Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The front desk clerk was so pleasant it made us feel right at home from the start. The rooms feel like you are a guest a very caring relative's home. Everything was clean and spotless. The pillows were heavenly, usually pillows are like little square marshmallows, but these were large and comfortable. The little deck outside our upper floor room afforded us a great place to look out over the frozen lake. The weather was unseasonable warm so we took advantage of it for a bit.
