Kayaking Adventure

During my stay, I had the privilege of taking out kayaks to explore the beautiful lake. It was a fantastic experience paddling around the mini island and shrine that I could see from my room. The combination of water and stunning mountainous scenery made it unforgettable. I definitely recommend this activity to anyone who enjoys being active outdoors!

Stunning Lake Views

I absolutely loved my room with a twin layout that offered a spacious feel and a breathtaking view of the lake. Waking up to that scenery every morning was so refreshing! The cleanliness and amenities provided made my stay even more pleasant, and I can't wait to return for another view.

Delicious Breakfast Spread

The breakfast offered at the resort was truly fantastic! There was a solid spread including delicious homemade bread, fruits, yogurt, and made-to-order eggs. This is one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had, and it definitely fueled my adventures for the day. Ted and his team made sure every guest was satisfied.

Staying at this resort felt like visiting a friend's house. The hospitality was outstanding, thanks to Stephen and Ted, who made me feel incredibly welcome. The location next to the lake offers stunning views and cozy moments, though getting around independently can be a bit challenging. While the breakfast options were plentiful and enjoyable, planning dinners in advance is a must due to limited nearby restaurant choices. Overall, it’s a great place, especially for first-time visitors looking for a warm and memorable experience.
