The property is beautiful and well maintained. Beds comfortable and room was clean. The only negative comment I could make is they use a barn door style door for the bathroom which gives no privacy. We also couldn’t open door to balcony for some reason.
It was a peaceful stay. And the scenery was beautiful. The firepit was a nice touch on a cold night.
Cobwebs in the light fixtures & dirt & bird poop on the balcony. Keruig quit working & the sliding door to balcony hard to open.
The place was nice but I think a little too pricey for what you get. There is no free breakfast or coffee in the lobby. There is a coffee pot in the room and a small fridge. No microwave.
Just seemed a little much for the rooms. The rooms are nice. I also couldn’t figure out what the $25 resort fee was for.
I don’t think I would stay there again, but only because of the price, the rooms and the place were nice.

The staff was nice and helpful. Experian was hard to work with. Tried to make changes and they were not helpful.
Highly recommend! Lovely accommodations and small resort on the lake. Great seating on the lawn to enjoy the lake. Inside sitting areas are large and comfortable. I would stay here again.
The rooms and all common areas were clean. The staff were very nice. The coffee shop made delicious lattes and the staff were quick to make the drinks.
The downside of the visit was not being able to get water after check-in. After dropping the bags in the room, there were no attendants at the desk and there were no vending machines. The coffee shop was closed so no water could be purchased. There was also only 1 cup in the room but there were 2 of us.
We had to take my daughter’s service dog so we were placed by the office ground floor and a dog next to us barked continuously. The room was very basic and run down and there were even cobwebs in the bathroom. The desk chair was stained and gross but the worst was when i pulled up the sheets on the corner of the bed for the bed bug test the mattress was brown and fluid stained. Very expensive for what you get and the food and drink availability was poor. At least have a vending machine or something.
We had a view from our room of the lake which was lovely. The grounds and common areas are lovely and enjoyable. Staff was very pleasant helpful.
We hope to return in the future for a longer stay! Thank you

The entire property was beautiful and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. From checking in to checking out everything went smoothly. The on-site restaurants is delicious as well. We will definitely be back!
We had a busy schedule for a short stay. The staff was very nice, the beds were comfortable and the shower was hot. Wish we had been able to enjoy more of the amenities, but perhaps another time.
I liked the view and the idea of s'mores by campfire. Property is very outdated. Furniture from 70's and worn out. Pool needs to be updated and tikihut looks ready to fall down. Amenities not open late enough and separate from property. Service at the restaurant was awful. Waited 30 minutes to be seated and it was empty. Waited 30 minutes more for drinks. Food was good though.

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The TV did not work, and the staff came to fix it but the only way we could watch it is if we used our Netflix - no other channels . This year curtains had giant rips in them. the price per night just wasn’t worth that - I feel like I could get the same room at comfort inn for way less . They have a beautiful antler Chandelier under the portico when you pull in, but when you look at up close it was covered in cob Webs . Every door down the hallway had scuffs and chipped paint.
The room was clean but not worth the price.

beautiful property & views right on the lake. back of property. lakeside, especially nice and well maintained. Overall very good experience, friendly & helpful staff, nice updated/renovated room with great comfortable beds, large HD TV & excellent shower and bathroom.
Older property and building which still needs more updating, maintenance & renovation - especially parking area, hallways, and some other common areas.
Roof repairs being conducted when we stayed there in early October.
Amenities & restaurants somewhat limited but very nice and mostly easily accessible.
Would describe more as a lodge than "resort" but still overall good property, conveniently located with great views, Some road noise due to close proximity to local highway 76 however, minimal distraction or problems.
The Oaks restaurant small but very attractive. Good food, drinks, specials/happy hour, service and some nice "extras"/surprises but a little pricey for dinner.
We got an upgrade to a suite, which was nice but it turned out to be next to the 24 hour gym... not so nice...
the views are awesome and the grounds are beautiful.
Nice clean rooms . We spent 4 nights
The housekeeping comes to clean every 3 days .which I request to come and change at least the dirty towels every days.
I have to go to the desk to ask for more toilet paper .
Our recent stay at the Ridges was very enjoyable. It was a weekend getaway for me and my gf and it did not disappoint.
Breakfast at their restaurant was delicious and the service excellent. We both found our beds to be super comfy with the bedding of European quality. The shower had good pressure and the ac worked well and was quiet. Both my friend and I agreed we would visit again and definitely recommend the resort.
