“The setting here is truly something special, with rooms opening to breathtaking views of the lake and mountains that beckon you to simply sit and take it all in. While the older lodge has a certain charm and keeps rooms immaculately clean, I found myself missing a few modern conveniences. Still, the unparalleled natural beauty and the quiet atmosphere make it a place worth returning to.”
