"Great location l, nice rooms but place needs a little TLC esp in the back facing the lake. Decks needs power wash and paint, railing need paint, over grass and weeds need attention and plain garbage outside just needs to be picked up when cleaning rooms so next guest does not look at it when enjoying such beautiful lake view. We did enjoy the beach area and our dig had a blast swimming in it! (Also body wash was out in our room, please, have staff check it for next guest)."
