We chose to spend Christmas here and had a very wonderful time. It is more of a homestay than a hotel. The family who runs the place is extremely friendly and kind. Grandma cooks amazing Mexican food and Grandpa makes very tasty wine. They did even invite us to join their family's Christmas dinner. Moreover, the lake view from the room is absolutely stunning with myriads of birds. Sunrise is worth getting up early. The place is far from town, so it makes a great retreat. Feel free to borrow their boat btw!
