The view was absolutely stunning!!! There’s no better way to start the day than overlooking the lake, mountains with a delicious cup of coffee. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was both delicious and authentic. A truly memorable experience.

We had a wonderful time here and we would happily return. The location is easy to find and it is perfectly aligned between the lake and the forest, which is our favourite combination in nature. The staff is really friendly and helpful, tha food is wonderfully tasty, and the service does not take long. The rooms are clean, spatious and well-equipped, as well as the balcony, where we adored spending our time irrespective of the time of day. There are many possibilities of entertainment in the area, especially if you like hiking or taking trips by boat or fishing. All in all, we definitely recommend the place for a quiet retreat or private celebration.

Very clean and pretty. Rustic atmosphere. Rooms spacious, with balcony on both sides of the inn, but we unfortunately got a room on the mountain side so no view. On the side of the lake the view is fantastic. You can see it as you take breakfast, lovely. Restaurant doesn't have a wide variety of dishes. Overall very nice

I wasn't a guest of the hotel, so I can't say anything about the rooms. But I stopped there several times to have lunch because the view of Bicaz Lake is absolutely breathtaking. The food is decent, the service quite alright. I would definitely like to spend more time there, provided they change their policy about allowing pets in the hotel.
