Very clean and comfortable resort, I was only there 2 nights and I saw some beautiful sunsets and sunrises along with wildlife. Look forward to visiting again.
The rooms were beautiful and very clean with a nice baloney over looking the lake. The breakfast was terrific and fresh cooked with made to order omlets.
The only negative at this resort was there was no beach to go to on the lake except at Margaritville which we didn't want to go to because it is all slides witha beach and 60.00 each to go to.
This turned out to. Be a wonderful weekend get away but so close to Atlanta. The staff were the best. Beautiful properties and surroundings. Clean and great pool.
People like the breakfast. I thought it was no different than a smaller chain hotel continental breakfast. I would not go here for the breakfast. Nice and quiet place. Friendly and helpful staff.
Incredible property with wonderful amenities. It was just a stopover for us but we liked it so much we will plan a longer stay in the future.
The pool with Lake in the background won me over and in cooler weather, the fire pit would be enchanting. I had a great time swimming. We didn’t get to Margaritaville but it looks like a great entertainment spot.
Our room was spacious as was the bathroom and clean and comfortable. A small outdoor porch faced green space with lake beyond.
The room was very nice and we had a great view! The included breakfast was amazing and the staff for both the hotel and breakfast were friendly and attentive.
Clean room, a little outdated but still nice and clean. Beautiful views of the lake. Staff very friendly. It's an underrated Gem. Highly recommend, Will definitely be coming back.
It was an excellent experience for our Thanksgiving Day family gathering. All staff were outstanding, helping customers with smiles and a willingness to make my stay better.
