Hotels.com needs to work better
The stay itself was great. As a self check in establishment, I had difficulty only because expedia/Hotels.com never sent me a check in email. It took me a while to get in touch with a staff member to forward the email so I could actually check in.

We were looking for a nice calm relaxing place away from home but not too far away to escape some of our daily stress for one night. Forgot about the rowdy snowmobile season

It is a rustic place to stay with a gorgeous view. We felt safe. Our dinner was fantastic with an exceptionally attentive waitress. She was the ONLY waitress, w/ a fairly full dining area. There was not a long wait for our dinners. Room was not modern but so much better than camping.

Only real issue is finishing work in bathrooms and overall shower water pressure. Room 17 is lacking in that department. Property overall is gorgeous and main lobby area is beautiful. Staff very helpful and friendly as well and check in and out was a pleasant breeze
