Amazing hot tub experience with great lake views.
I stayed for two nights, and managing shared bathroom access with children was a hassle, especially during cold nights. The chilly walk to the facilities hub was uncomfortable, and the lack of extra maintenance for shared spaces often left the bathrooms less than inviting. Having to navigate the dark pathways made it more challenging than it needed to be, leading to an uneasy stay overall.

The views from the rooms are stunning, providing a picturesque backdrop that makes waking up feel cinematic. Plus, the hot tub experience was a real highlight, especially since it was conveniently located right next to our unit.
The shared bathrooms, while clean, can be a hassle for families, especially when kids wake up in the night. It can get a bit chilly walking in the dark, so you’ll want to keep your robe handy. some design flaws like the bedside reading light switches being at head height and the metal door heating up the room were a bit bothersome.

The panoramic lake and mountain views were breathtaking, making the stay truly special. The studio was well-equipped, and everything was communicated clearly. the TV placement made movie watching a bit awkward, and the absence of sheer curtains reduced daytime comfort, restricting both light and privacy. Staff were friendly and responsive, which added a nice touch to the experience.

Amazing lake views right from the room, and the hot tub was a great touch! The kitchen was spotless, allowing for convenient family meals. Outdoor dining with tables by the lake made for lovely evenings! (Definitely recommend. )
The shared bathroom setup could be a bit challenging at night for kids, especially on colder evenings. A little more lighting along the paths could improve the experience.

Family with children Paradise
We had this great hot tub experience man, it was half price since we stayed there. Waking up to the stunning view of the lake every morning made me feel like I was living in a movie. The shared bathrooms were super clean like you wouldn't believe, no waiting to get in which, trust me, when you got kids is a big deal.
It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but honestly it was worth it.

The stay offered a stunning outdoor barbecuing area and conveniently located EV charger. The shared bathroom was extremely clean, but the lack of air conditioning made our nights uncomfortably warm, and some insects crept in when we opened the windows.

Family with children paradise
The panoramic views of the lake and mountains were fine, and our little one could play safely while enjoying the sights from our balcony. The hot tub experience was a game changer after a long day of activities, with the special half-price offer making it even better.
It wasn’t a bargain but still acceptable for what we got.
