"This property was just right for a family gathering. There was plenty of room for both visiting together and for private space. Much of our time was spent by the pool and hot tub and it was a favorite for both the kids and adults. The kitchen facilities were spacious, well stocked, and suitable for preparing a large meal. The bedrooms were comfortable. Having access to their canoes and kayaks was very handy for those wanting to paddle around on the lake. This property was ideal for anyone just wanting to relax and enjoy a comfortable place with an excellent view. The manager, Sam, was easy to communicate with and was responsive to any needs we had. April and Eddie stayed busy maintaining the property and were cordial.Overall we had a great stay. Bill"

"Made coffee for wife and i... fortunately she drinks decaf cause there was only one regular and one decaf in room. Thought the lobby would have more, but staff had not made any coffee. Overall the property was reasonably clean. They cut corners on some of the remodel like uneven floor tiles, rust on the towel and TP holders and missing top piece on shower drain... water drains out through bplumbing, but also in between drain pipe and tub. Gonna have some termites some day."
