    I understand the restaurant is seasonal affair would been nice to have a form of pub or bistro offering while having a drink so not to drive into town maintenance suggestion door to the room requires weather stripping at the bottom quarter inch gap let's the bugs and draft in great place over all

    Beautiful setting and views

    Great view of the lake!! We enjoyed sitting on the balcony at sunset and in the morning while taking our coffee. We saw some deers and turkeys, and the sound of the birds was lovely. The room was basic but clean and functional. Adam in the reception was very helpful and friendly.

    The showers. Although they looked cool and modern, the water would splash out and get onto the floor past the glass partition . Since it wasn't like a big hotel chain, I'm not sure what their housekeeping services are like. I believe they replace towels when requested. Also, although the room was newly renovated and clean, the lights were extremely blue and surgical in color.

    Would I liked best? Was the value for the price I paid. The views were amazing as well. I thought we would be across the street and have to look at the lake from afar, but we were right on the lake. It was very spacious and good for a small family or a couple. Two couples could fit too if your in your 20s or a tight budget. They supplied hair dryer, towels, coffee machine and also some toiletries in the bathroom like shampoo, conditioner etc. 🙂 there was a small refrigerator as well. TV was big but I could not find like the music channels or a way to log into YouTube/ other smart TV apps. Small kitchen table with a booth was useful as well.

    Shower stall was poorly planned-no place to put soap or shampoo. Needs a shelf.

    Location was wonderful-directly on Lake Seneca. Unit was very clean. Liked the balcony overlooking Lake Seneca. We ate at the adjoining Grill and the food was good as well as the service. We would definitely stay there again.

    The driveway was a little steep and tricky for a motorcycle but we managed.

    It overlooked the lake with a deck and set back off the road so it was quiet and peaceful.

    The parking situation. There is one spot assigned to each room. There is no one enforcing additional cars per room are parked in overflow location and parking wherever wanted. So in the pouring rain, an unauthorized car was parked in front of our room.

    The location was great for visiting wineries. Staff was very nice!
