Golden lake is the best option to enjoy summer time with family and friends. The option of the chalet is great for a family and the magnificent lake is the most enjoyable experience.

Lovely secluded hotel and location by the Lake
We had a nice large room with a whirlpool bathtub and view of the lake. The hosts were very friendly. There is a breakfast offered but we just happened to have made other arrangements during our stay. There is a well equipped gym in the building across the road from the hotel.

We were a party of 4 seniors sharing a cottage that was very comfortable and well supplied in the kitchen, bedrooms,bathrooms and living space. We enjoyed the fireplace and the bonfire pit on the beach We would suggest that your online dining menu is updated to describe what is actually on the menue.Other than that we really enjoyed our. 2 night stay.

The view is breathtaking, the duck poop all over the beach and floating in the water less so, but I understand that the ducks float to this property because at this time of year, they’re not hunted
