Was surprised to see a new $32 Daily Facility Charge added upon arrival. Apparently the two free drinks in the bar, 24 hr coffee , etc., wifi, and water bottles in the room are not free. Otherwise, we love the property. The staff, restaurant/bar, rooms and location are wonderful!

The value for the money of this place was excellent. You have to pay a small fee for access to the Big Canoe amenities, but it was well worth it. Be aware, this is a cabin-like place in the woods. There are spiders, and lots of them. One or two may even get into your cabin or spin a web on your car. Just remember that you are in their home and you'll be okay. Wifi is spotty at best.
