utter bliss!

fine grounds lake view

The grounds are fine. i loved the open-air sculpture park. It added such a unique touch! the deck had the most amazing views of the lake, so peaceful.

i found the bar service quite slow. it seemed difficult for them to organize gluten-free options, a bit frustrating.
