"Great place! Had everything a person could need! Plenty of places to sleep, comfy beds! Added bonus were tower fans available to move air around the cabin. The dock was very nice and sturdy and had room for 2 boats and jet skis. The fishing and swimming off the dock was grand. Lovely fishing lake and very peaceful, not too busy or noisy! If you are looking for a home away from home look no further! Great deck with very nice gliding chairs. Highly recommend!!"

"The motel room was clean. We had a room with 2 twin beds. It was outdated, but very clean. No real amenities to speak of. Beds and a TV. No A/C and don’t expect them to call you if you leave a message asking if there is A/C because they do not respond and they don’t answer the phone. However, if you are just looking for a room to sleep in, you can’t beat the price, Beds aren’t great and no extra towels. It worked for what we needed. Probably won’t stay again though."

"We stayed at the house for 5 days the end of July. Jeff always responded right away to all messages. The house was so well supplied with everything! I feel there were more amenities than what were listed. There is so much room to spread out. There is a pretty good hill from the house to the lake. The family had so much fun fishing, caught a lot of crappie and a few bass. We played some very competitive volleyball!! The kids commented on how nice the sand was and...there are even sprinklers to water down the sand :) The grandchildren had fun doing the "Treasure Hunt" they had made up in the house, is was worth finding the treasure :). We had some competitive ping pong and shuffleboard games in the evenings. Mosquitos were never a problem at all. All in all we had a very fun week!! The Van Beeks"

The Lodges at Breezy Point

8/10 Good
"This is a timeshare place that’s on breezy point property. We did not realize that. It was like a blast from the past! Very early 90s feeling style/furniture wise. There were some stains on the carpets, the towels are old, no toiletries provided, mis matched and lacking cookware, etc.It is definitely not where you want to stay if you want a modern place. That being said, we had an amazing time. The swimming beach is beautiful and clean. The restaurant was delicious, and the gift shop and candy store were great too. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the condo so it wasn’t too bad. Also note - there were no windows to the outside in the actual condo, and while we were there the high village pool wasn’t working, there was another pool to use though. Overall we probably won’t be back but it was a good experience for only being there a few days."
