If you like glamping
Where do I start:
1. the check in process
2. No thermostat in the room. It was way too hot. I had to open the window to breathe.
3. No housekeeping service
4. The fact that you wanted a tip for housekeeping service that I didn't receive
5. The stupid daily texts
6. No microwave
7. Couldn't watch MNF
8. Having to limp up a flight of stairs carrying a 64lb bag
9. No dresser. So I lived out of my suitcase
10. No plowing of parking lot or shovelling of walkway. Almost slipped and fell several times.

Nous avons passé un très beau week end entre amie. Le personnel était agréable et l'ambiance cozy friendly était parfaite. Le petit déjeuner était super et offert toute là journée puisque le resto est fermé pour la saison. La chambre était propre et la vue sur le lac était incroyable. Il y a également plusieurs endroit différents pour se reposer, lire et relaxer.
Près du village pour se divertir, manger ou s'amuser. Près également de plusieurs endroits pour randonnée ou faire du vélo. Nous avons fait la Black bear mountain et Bald mountain.
Assurément que j'y retournerai en été pour essayer les activités nautiques puisqu'un quai est disponible.

Honeymoon Suite Stay
We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite! It was fantastic. The room was great, the TV arm rotated so it could be viewed from anywhere in the room and there was access to streaming platforms. So awesome for a cozy night away :)

Beautifully situated in the heart of the Adk. on a loon filled lake. The staff was excellent, skilled and allowed you space to make you feel this was your own unique space to enjoy. Highly recommend!

. Cabin 28 is nice Bedroom window was propped open with a stick. Screen has to be removed to open or close window. Some windows have no locks. Welcome Matt is ripped and a tripping hazard. We finally moved it to the side to make it safe and not trip as we did a few times. Needs to be replaced. All things that could easily be fixed with some attention. Great little cabin

Live music at the Lean To. Otherwise for a price of around $350 it was disappointing, and the room description was misleading. There was no one at the desk, although they did answer text inquiries in a reasonable time frame. Still an actual person would be better, especially since the front desk is said to be open until 5 pm.
