We had an incredible stay at the Anchorage Resort. The friendly welcome from Amos set a warm tone for our visit, and our lake view room was spacious and spotless. A highlight was the breakfast delivered to our room, which was delightful. The location by the lake was serene, though the laundry facilities were a nice touch after a week on the road. Overall, it was a fantastic stopover that we can't wait to return to!
