I loved our room. Very spacious and awesome comfy chairs. Didn’t realize our small balcony was literally beside a high traffic roadway with cars and walking guests. Also beach area was very nice however the water wasn’t very clean and the bottom was sludgy.

They are remodeling- the bar and dining area are awesome - the burger is VERY good. The rooms are meh. The front desk didn’t give great information - did not notify us when our room was ready (didn’t have/ask for our phone number). Didn’t inform us there was not daily cleaning. We loved the marina and was great for our boat.

Resort was very nice, quiet and clean. The one thing we did notice was there were a lot of steps to everything….our room, the pool area, the deck area outside the pool to go down by the lake—hard for older people or disabled. Room was very nice and clean!

The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Rooms are very dated. The fireplace in the room didn’t work and the phone in the room didn’t work when I tried to call the desk for assistance. The front desk staff wasn’t very helpful. View of the lake was the best thing about the property.

We stayed in March while they were in the middle of a huge renovation. Therefore it is best to make sure these rankings are properly framed. Our room was clean and spacious. We were however right by the entrance door from the parking lot and therefore had a LOT of noise when people were coming and going. It had a small deck but at 45 degrees with a wind off the lake, we did not sit on it! The renovation will be nice but we just wanted a place to stay for the night and it suited our needs just fine.
