Insider tips
- Ask about the evening drinks and snacks, which a May 2026 guest enjoyed.
- The ferry terminal is close, and a bus stop is not far, according to an August 2026 guest.
- If you want a lake view, mention it when booking. One guest was upgraded to a lake-view room.
Who it's for: couples and families who want owners who look after them and a pier on the lake.
Skip it if you want modern decor or a large breakfast for the price.
