Great Stay Near the Lake

fabulous hostess super clean place tasty breakfast quality linen
I found the hostess to be fabulous and very accommodating. The place felt quite homely and super clean. Breakfast was great, especially the tasty local ingredients. The beds had super comfy, good quality linen, and I enjoyed the gorgeous loft room.
The shower and toilet were slightly small, but I understand space can be limited in such buildings.
