Excellent motel
My wife and I along with our 5 year old grandson stayed there for two nights. Excellent location with direct access from the room to the lake path. We had a water leak in the bathroom on our second day, which the owner sorted out quickly. The owner gave our grandson a goodie bag and gave us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. Some parts of the property are in need of renovation, but the new owners are busily working through the renovations.
Great location and friendly owners and staff.

We booked last minute through the Expedia app. The staff were extremely accommodating when we notified then of our late arrival and made arrangements for access after reception had closed.
When we arrived the heating was on, which was great because it got to - 3°C that night.
In the morning we discovered it was only a dozen steps down to the beach from our patio.
And of course great that the place is pet friendly!
