obstructed view dry tub
the double room lake view was... well, optimistic about the lake view. i mean, you could sort of see it if you craned your neck and squinted. also, that outdoor tub looked inviting, but it was bone dry. talk about false advertising! twice.

Mixed Feelings About My Stay
early noise limited tv
I was a little disappointed with a couple of things. The automatic grass cutters were quite noisy early in the morning, and they disrupted the otherwise peaceful setting. I expected more channels on the television. It had a very limited selection.

the road to get there is a bit challenging. driving at night to get there required extra caution and focus. getting there before dark is a better idea.
