"When we checked in at 11pm, there was no one at the front desk so we had to go across to High Peaks to check in. They were also out of water in the lobby the next day. Other than that, we are very happy with the Lake House and all their amenities. The access to Mirror Lake and pool, as well as their paddle boards and boats make for a fantastic stay! Also their proximity to town is great. And lastly, the fact that they are pet friendly is key for us. Great stay!"
