“The lakeside position is undeniably stunning, lending a dramatic backdrop to the lodge's grand scale. While the main lodge's aesthetic leans toward a more American interpretation of luxury, the comfort of the rooms and the exceptional service throughout the stay were remarkable. Dining on the terrace as the sun set was a particularly special moment, and the cuisine, while good, was complemented by truly outstanding wine selections and a convivial cocktail hour.”
