Nice room, little view
If you just need somewhere to crash this Suite works. The mini kitchen is nice, bath is a good size. There is not much of a view of the lake & planes from this location.

What a fantastic view in such a gorgeous area! Even in the rain, it was just cool to be able to watch planes come in and be down near the water.
Your property is beautiful!
Our only suggestion within the room would be some bedside lights or a motion-detector light in the bathroom for those midnight trips.

Beautiful views
A great stay! Great location and close proximity to the Spit. However, unfortunately every night there was an event upstairs and loud footsteps from around 4 pm into the evening. It was also very hot at night and there were no windows we could open. Otherwise, we enjoyed the room and watching the planes go by.
