My room overlooked the roof of the attached summer restaurant. I would much rather have had an unobstructed view of beautiful Clear Lake. Bed was comfortable and being later in the year it was very quiet.

Our visit was in early October, but we still enjoyed the lakeside view. The staff was friendly The only negative part of our stay was that we were assigned rooms on the second floor and there is no elevator at the facility.

Thought the property sits on the lakefront, most of the rooms have a view of the outdoor restaurant or the roof over the restaurant Instead of the lake. The onsite restaurant is only open from Memorial Day thru Labor Day, and there are no restaurants within walking distance for breakfast. Will not stay there again.
