The hotel exudes a family-friendly vibe with plenty of amenities, including multiple pools and activities like paddleboarding. The cottages are fun and cozy, allowing for family bonding time over meals. However, the limited breakfast options and some safety concerns regarding room access left us uneasy. Overall, it’s a decent spot particularly for families, but it could certainly use some improvements.

The cottage we stayed in was cute, clean, and had a little balcony with chairs overlooking the lake, which was a nice touch. However, I did notice a lack of a microwave or fridge unless you pay extra, which feels a bit inconvenient.

Our stay at the hotel was enjoyable, with a beautiful lake view and plenty of outdoor space for relaxation and leisure activities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the variety of amenities, especially for families, was impressive. However, the breakfast could definitely use improvements as it lacked variety, and some areas of the hotel felt dated and in need of updates.

During my stay, I found the hotel to have a beautiful outdoor space with multiple pools and easy access to Lake Erie, which was perfect for families. However, I was disappointed by the lack of in-room amenities like a fridge and the beach area felt smaller than expected. The overall cleanliness was commendable, but for the price, I expected a bit more in terms of amenities and service.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The place is definitely family-friendly with ample outdoor space, making it a great spot for kids. However, the noise levels were off the charts, ruining our peaceful retreat. Additionally, I was really disappointed with the responsiveness of the staff regarding issues we faced during our stay.
