I stayed at The Lake with my son and his family for 2 nights in mid April. Our one bedroom apartment was very clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed at a very reasonable price. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend it without hesitation!

The room was clean and very well presented. It is a fantastically unique motel with its retro themed rooms. In the morning staff continued... More

The retro furniture in this hotel is simply gorgeous. We booked a studio room, but were upgraded to a room with a kitchenette. The room was well-appointed and clean. Although the retro chairs were not the most comfortable, the bed was good. The hosts were very helpful and friendly and hotel is well-located. Good value and perfect if you're looking... More
