"The home looks just as it does in the photos. It’s very cute in an eclectic ski cabin-type of way. We arrived at night so we didn’t see the peek-a-boo view of the lake until morning.

There was plenty of space, and the fact that each room had its own temperature controls allowed everyone to sleep at a temperature that suited them."

Icon Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Icon Inn is unique. You are greeted by Stealy Dan and a computer screen in the lobby. You check in on the computer screen. It will text you a confirmation number to type in. Then prints out a room key for you. Your room number will have been texted to you and post briefly on the screen before the key is printed. I missed seeing both and had to text the manager/owner for my room number. There are only 15 guest suites. Each suite a little different from each other. My king suite had a remote fireplace. There are double queen suites with living room spaces. Ultra modern showers with thick towels, and dimmable lighting. Larger refrigerator/freezers with cream pods, coffee and coffeemakers, microwaves. The TV's are streaming only. You will need your Google, Netflix, Prime, YouTube, etc passwords. Really nice kitchen and prep area. A vending machine with some beverages and sundry items, including slippers. Dining area with a shuffle board game. Outside seating areas.
