Fun experience
It was a very unexpected interesting experience. I almost mistakenly thought it was a nice college dorm. Love cooking together with other guests, and dining with a beautiful lake view.

Room was clean and cozy. The shower was a bit too small to use comfortably. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is right on the lake and there is a lounge and dining hall that offer stunning views. Would recommend visiting the Dark Sky Project which is directly next door.
