Room was very clean, staff was amazing, only reason I could not give a 5 star review was due to room location. Directly across from front deck and close to front door, this causes a lot of noise just outside our room. Food in the resteraunt was very good as well.

The room was shared a wall with the hotel bar. There was live music till 10PM, then the crowd got louder as the night went on. The bar closed at 1AM but We could hear loud talking well past 2AM outside our rooms door! If you can sleep through the noise the room was clean, and modern.

Beautiful lake, the food was pretty good, the room didn't have a window but the bed was comfy. Bathroom door squeaked pretty loud. Perch dinner Friday night was excellent. Prime Rib Saturday was good but was just served warm. Live music Friday was excellent. Outdoor fire pit was beautiful. There are some nice wineries close by and a few neat spots in town.
