9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
Love that it’s right by the lake—great for biking and easy access to a small private beach on-site or nearby. Room was clean with a full kitchen. Pool area was nice, though the water was a bit cloudy. Parking for oversize truck is tricky and limited, especially if you’re in and out a lot. The restaurant next door was very good.
