Great room with a fantastic lake view. If you don't want stairs, ask for a 1st floor room. We were on the 2nd floor and it was beautiful, but we left our big suitcases in the car. The kitchen is well stocked with plates, pans, etc and it is a full kitchen. Great location- also has a guest laundry and a grill area you can use.
