This was a wonderful resort. The room was clean and comfortable with nice linens. The grounds were landscaped beautifully and the dock was well maintained. Sets of Adirondack chairs were placed around for watching the events on the lake or just relaxing. Highly recommend.

Lake front property kept in excellent condition Great walking paths seats to sit in. This was an older establishment but had been kept well. They should replace terrible stained chairs in room. The plumbing went out at 3 am no water or toilet but it was due to weather but it was a decent stay otherwise.

The property grounds were absolutely breathtaking. One of our new favorite spots! Everything you need in one location! Only thing is, I will definitely book a bigger room next time with more in room amenities. It was tight with a family of 4 in a standard 2 queen room.

We did enjoy our time at this property. The floor above us is paper thin, so we woke up with the family above us much earlier than we hoped. The lobby area was beautiful. The rooms are nice. The bathroom had some mold around the tub, but overall clean. Our patio off of our room could have been brushed off. A good bit of spider webs. The Oak restaurant on property was phenomenal. It was easy to rent a jet ski and get on the water. Great staff all around. Would come back!

Sophy claudia

Too expensive for what it offers. Upon check out, they charged $25 dollars a day for using the amenities,such as the pool which was not open until 10 am ,the check out time. The bed and the pillows were of bad quality and very uncomfortable. I upgraded to a room with aview,which was a partial view of the tree covwred up lake abd a view of the stored boats. The coffee machine did not work. Everytime I passed by the reception,there was a guest complaining about something. The only thing i liked was the pool. This property overcharges for what they offer.
