Needed an afford able room for a work trip in Lengby. The bar and restaurant was a great perk after working a long day. Reggie the dog was great and good for the additive after work.

The lake front room is comfortable and warm on a chill fall day with a nice bed. The drive is a lead viewing pleasure and the food is plentiful.

Our stay was excellent, staff was very friendly. Including their ‘furry friend’ staff. Dennis was such a good boy! Rooms could use a little updating, but over all comfortable and accommodating. Excellent view of the lake. Very beautiful property.

Not the best for winter accomodations
A winter stay in this cabin was not a good choice. Snow blew in under the door, floor heating units not great and carpet frayed and furniture very old. Beds squeaky and soft. The sheets and towels were clean and the breakfast had some nice muffin choices. The hotel lobby was clean and tidy and decorated for the holidays nicely. Really pretty view of the frozen lake.

It was our first stay. Like the location, like the quiet. Very homey, comfy feel. The only meal we ate was the breakfast and that was disappointing not to have hot breakfat options other than waffles. However not a deal breaker forbus amd would absolutely stay again and recommend.
