My stay at the Kenlake Hotel was a pleasant surprise! The hotel is charming and has obviously been well cared for, with spacious and very clean rooms. The dining experience was enjoyable with great food choices. However, its location can be a bit tricky to find since it's not right off the interstate. That said, the value for money, especially in winter, is hard to beat.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff was friendly and the location by the lake offered beautiful views, the cleanliness and maintenance of the accommodations left a lot to be desired. The dining experience, especially breakfast, was disappointing and did not meet expectations. On the plus side, the cottage was spacious and private, making it a good value for a family getaway.

The hotel is set in a beautiful wooded area, making it feel rustic and charming. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, perfect for families with lots of activities like fishing and boating nearby. Breakfast was a highlight with delicious options, but I did miss the evening cocktails and snacks. Overall, it's a lovely spot, though some parts may feel a bit dated.

I had a lovely experience at this resort nestled in beautiful woods. The location is quite scenic, and the amenities are great for families with kids. My room was clean and nice, but I felt it could have been a tad more spacious. The breakfast was fantastic, but I missed out on some of the evening events. The overall atmosphere was charming, though the building showed its age in places.
