The Journey So Far
1987 - The Beginning
Started as a modest 12-room lakeside inn. Margaret and Thomas Glaiv had this wild dream of turning an old fishing lodge into something special. Nobody thought they'd pull it off, but here we are.
1995 - Expansion Era
Added the west wing with 30 premium suites. Guests kept asking for more rooms, so we listened. That year we also planted the garden that's still blooming today.
2003 - Wellness Revolution
Opened our full-service spa after visiting wellness retreats across Europe. We knew our guests needed more than just a comfortable bed - they needed genuine restoration.
2012 - Fine Dining Arrives
Launched Reflections Restaurant with Chef Antoine. He's still with us, still creating magic with local ingredients, and still arguing about the perfect temperature for butter.
2018 - Eco-Conscious Upgrade
Complete renovation with sustainability at heart. Solar panels, water recycling systems, and locally-sourced everything. The lake's been good to us - time to give back.
2025 - Today & Tomorrow
Now a 78-room luxury retreat that still feels like home. We're planning new adventure programs and expanding our wellness offerings because standing still isn't our style.
The Folks Who Started It All
Margaret was a nurse who dreamed of creating a healing space. Thomas was a carpenter who could build anything you could sketch on a napkin. Together? They were unstoppable.
Back in '87, this property was basically falling apart. Roof leaked, floors creaked, and the dock was held together by hope and rusty nails. But they saw potential where everyone else saw problems.
Margaret always said she wanted guests to leave feeling lighter than when they arrived. Not just rested - actually lighter in spirit. That's still our guiding principle, even though she's retired now and spends most of her time kayaking on the very lake she's loved for almost 40 years.

What Drives Us Today
We're not trying to be the biggest or the fanciest. We just wanna be the place where you actually relax. Where your shoulders drop, your jaw unclenches, and you remember what it feels like to just... be.
Every decision we make - from the thread count in the sheets to the temperature of the pool - comes back to that simple question: Will this help someone feel better?
