Lakeside is a beautiful lodge, in a fantastic setting. We spent a lot of time on the deck watching the water birds and the fish. It has a comfortable sitting room with great view of the lake. Dining area has a circular table and stools. Well designed but hard on old backs. The kitchen is compact and well equipped. The main bedroom, very well designRead moreed but a bit of a sueeze around the comfortable bed. Hanging space is in the twin bedroom which is compact. The shower in the bathroom has a step up. Hide
