The room was clean. The staff was great. We dealt with Carl at the desk and enjoyed his banter and his help with ideas of what to do . Our one and only complaint would be the abundance of Chlorine in the Hot Tub.

This place was a perfect place to stay for the Christkindle market in Sister Bay! Plenty of outdoor fire pits and indoor fire places to enjoy the season! Very dog friendly (for those that travel with pets) and incredibly clean for those that do not have their furry friends with them.
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! Breakfast and coffee was good. Everything was fresh and the coffee was very good.
All in all a fantastic time at a very nice place. We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay!
