Great hotel! We really enjoyed staying here. It is a unique property. The rooms are very big with tall ceilings. Food was great at the restaurant on site. Enjoyed our visit.

A beach that is also a lake is one unique find for one who is used to warm beaches in south Texas. Here it was too cold to even walk the shore barefoot. It looks so similar to what I'm used to, yet so different, surrounded by green life and deer! I hope to have more opportunities to travel and capture these sights. #Adventure
