To Summarize:
Be warned: This is in the middle of NOWHERE. And there are no accommodations for late arrivals, including really important things like food, wine, or snacks. (I am diabetic)
There's a "vending machine," which is sparsely filled, but it only takes cash and while they tote an ATM, it was out of service..
Pool and hot tub?
Doesn't work. Never put a toe in there. Major pool construction; upon arrival told it would be open and were given hours; then today "it will be open by this afternoon" and then later this afternoon, any staff to be found said, "oh god no-it's not going to be open at all today." Then the power FOR THE ENTIRE PLACE went out. For hours.
Note: EVERYTHING IS ELECTRONIC HERE. SO WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT, YOU CAN'T GET INTO YOUR BUILDING OR INTO YOUR ROOM. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS. YOU ARE TRAPPED AND YOUR THINGS ARE VULNERABLE BECAUSE MY PATIO DOOR WAS COMPLETELY NOT LOCKED. NOTHING IS MANAGED BY KEYS.
Notifications? None.
Peaceful environment? If you consider Construction to be one? So you can't go to the pool, you can't go to the lake, you can't sit on your 1300 deck because you're locked out?
Boats and lake access and sauna? All locked up. No one staffed. Abandoned "Scream"movie set perhaps?
Late arrival ? No food, no options, no place to purchase anything IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. (8:40) NOTHING is open on Tuesdays or Wednesdays- we unfortunately learned. Did we make a reservation at the apparent restaurant that we have never seen or been able to get into? Yes we did. It was an 8 o'clock reservation. Was the restaurant actually open that evening? No.
Communication? NON- EXISTENT.
ATM? In-room coffee machines? (Tacky Kuerigs) not in service.
*A Jura coffee machine is available with a WARNING that it is only available for breakfast. God Save You if you, paying $1400 a night, possibly wanna have a latte.
Mind you, this has been an OVER $3200 stay for two nights.
Shuttle? "Sure! There are spots! I'll reserve them for you!"
Actual shuttle conversation morning of to confirm: "there is no room- it is booked; it is full." We responded with "we confirmed this in March and again this week." NO SOLUTIONS to make it better. For any of this.
"Sorry."
At 6:25 pm at the event we get a call. "Hey the shuttle is ready!" We had already been there for two hours.
We could NEVER in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. What a deeply unwelcoming, confusing, inaccessible experience.
The only thing that works here is the warm and sweet housekeeping folks and the toilets.
The power outage was a massive problem only to be addressed with hostility and shocking indifference.
Mind you, this was ONE 24- hour period.
Stay away. read more
