The grounds are nice; however, the room had a terrible musty odor. The bed was very uncomfortable. I am still uncertain why there was a space heater in the room & can’t believe that is ok per code. Check in was efficient & the gift shop was nice.

The most beautiful location with beautiful views of the lake. Breakfast included. Lunch and dinner available with limited hours for purchase. Nice playground for small children. Tennis court, basketball court and indoor gym available for use. Highly recommend. Just be careful because the AC unit is high on the wall and will leak onto the ground and soak your belongings if you leave them on the floor!

This lodge is an Episcopal conference center. Everyone is welcome. The lodge is modern & up to date but our room did not face the lake. The proches overlooking the lake may not be available if there is a private meeting. The rooms do not have a TV or microwave oven. It's a nice quiet place if you want to relax, hike or boat. There is a free buffet breakfast which is nice.
