Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Right on the shore of the lake. Beautifully appointed chalet. Everything thought through so well. Homey touches like cookies with a note from Bron and Anthony made it extra special and personal. They greeted us with open arms. So warmly. It’s a little gem of a place. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Negative: Nothing about it jarred.
Summary: What a beautiful little gem of a place!
