Staff were all great. Crafts were wonderful for kids as was Pontoon boat ride and the swimming pool. Beach looked great but was just a bit chilly. So great to have indoor pool too. Toddlers loved playground and we loved it was fenced in. Our cabin 621 was a great location.

Our cabin was a great value for cost. Had some ant issues I see you were working on by ant traps. Sleep sofa mattresses were not comfortable. Would love even more activities. Crafts, trivia, maybe a scavenger hunt, campfire any night weather allows.

My wife and I stayed in the main lodge and rooms were clean & beds comfortable. Our stay included a free breakfast buffet which tasted very good and had much variety. Dinner at the restaurant was right on the lake and was very delicious. They had lots of activities like renting boats, paddle boards & kayaks, free s’mores for fires, a beautiful golf course, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, free pontoon rides and much more! Very impressed with this resort!

The air conditioner unit in our room is out of date and a bit loud.

Food was excellent, and the staff were amazing!!! They really went out of their way to make sure you had a great experience. The servers in the restaurant were working their butts off....they deserve a raise! The front desk lady was so very helpful. We needed something fixed on the tv, and she had someone there in under 10 min. He was awesome; had the problem fixed in no time!

The rooms seem to be outdated. The box on the back of the tv was hanging off the wall with a million cords hanging with it. Our friends in another room had a lamp that didn't work, and it wasn't the light bulb. It seems like the rooms need a little upgrading.

Friendly staff, very clean rooms.

The bar is only open until 9:00 each night, and if you want breakfast, the only option is an expensive buffet breakfast that ends at 10:00 - even on Sunday.

We loved the variety of activities that were offered, the lake was wonderful and the food was great too!

The outdoor pool was well used and older. But we understand that new owners are taking over and the outdoor pool will be replaced.

Love the location and ambiance of the property. Feels so country yet close enough to go to town if needed. A good value.

A little dated but it was fine for our needs.
