Lovely room, very clean, owner was so very accommodating about a late check in; however there was no shampoo or soap or any toiletries. Similar situation at breakfast, I had to ask for butter for my toast, same for the jam and a napkin. Not sure why the stinginess with what most hotels provide automatically.

Golden lake is the best option to enjoy summer time with family and friends. The option of the chalet is great for a family and the magnificent lake is the most enjoyable experience.

Lovely secluded hotel and location by the Lake
We had a nice large room with a whirlpool bathtub and view of the lake. The hosts were very friendly. There is a breakfast offered but we just happened to have made other arrangements during our stay. There is a well equipped gym in the building across the road from the hotel.

We were a party of 4 seniors sharing a cottage that was very comfortable and well supplied in the kitchen, bedrooms,bathrooms and living space. We enjoyed the fireplace and the bonfire pit on the beach We would suggest that your online dining menu is updated to describe what is actually on the menue.Other than that we really enjoyed our. 2 night stay.
