I loved that it was right next to the lake. But our room was clean and they had decent beds. I also appreciated a big size fridge to put all our stuff in for the night since i had a cooler with. I would love to stay there again.

The rooms had a nice rustic feel and were spacious. The beds were very comfortable. It is not very often that you get a full size refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot and a cook top in the room. We very much enjoyed our stay.

The lady that checked us in told us that she was giving us a newly remodeled room and that it was very clean.
This couldn't be further from the truth. The room was VERY musty. There were several imperfections in and outside the room, including BED BUGS!! I have bites all over my body

Stayed here twice (so far) while passing through for Christmas holidays. The rooms are always super clean, smell fresh, and are toasty warm for the winter. Forest Lake Restaurant is a quick walk from the rooms (2 minutes) and has excellent food. We love stopping here.
