The property has great views of the lake and is convenient to get to if you have a car. If not you have to take the boat to get to the hotel. The only problem we had during our stay was the limited options of food available as there are no restaurants nearby besides the hotel restaurant.

Many people know Korean drama "Crash Landing on You" This hotel was used as music school and well known location. I enjoyed great falls and dinner and hotel itself.
If you are fan of Crash Landing on You, you should stay here and enjoy its atmosphere.
