Rooms are very dated. The fireplace in the room didn’t work and the phone in the room didn’t work when I tried to call the desk for assistance. The front desk staff wasn’t very helpful. View of the lake was the best thing about the property.

While the new renovations looked nice at first glance, it was clear they were done poorly—it felt like they simply slapped a layer of paint on the walls and called it finished, without addressing underlying issues. One major inconvenience is that there is no elevator in the building. If you’re placed on the second floor, be prepared to carry your luggage up and down the stairs, which is especially frustrating after a long day of travel. Noise was another significant problem. It was extremely loud, with nonstop noise continuing until about 2:00 a.m. The quiet only lasted a few hours before the noise started again around 6:00 a.m., making it nearly impossible to get good sleep. After just one night, I canceled the remainder of my stay and found another hotel. Overall, this place did not meet expectations, and I would not recommend it to others."

What looked like smeared poop on the underside of our white quilt. Pool and hot tub not available but no mention of that when booking. No continental breakfast but was also mentioned when booking. I have pictures of the poop smeared quilt which I only saw after sleeping in the bed."

We enjoyed the view of it from the full floor to ceiling windows of our Cedar cabin. The sauna beside the lake with a full bathroom with shower was a luxury for this time of year. I imagine the small building that houses it is also a luxury for after swimming in the lake.This property is beautiful. It has to be a joy during the summer, however it is very pricey. There are more budget friendly places around. However, for a special time with that special someone in nature, it is wonderful with the views of the lake."

They didn’t have a hot breakfast, the eggs and sausage warmers were not clean cleaned from the previous day and so they just didn’t make eggs and sausage for Sunday morning. When I asked I was told “she didn’t make it” with no offer to rectify the issue. It smelled like cigarettes I. The hallways.

The shuttle service was top notch. The shuttle driver Vernon is awesome. He is very knowledgeable about the resort and quick to pick up. I also am impressed that the resort supplies firewood for every campfire. That is a perk for sure. The villa with the pool table is a must. It was perfect for our family and friends.

The staff was really friendly and helpful. The kids enjoyed the pool and the temp was perfect. The only complaint I have is the neighbors were so noisy until 4 in the morning so the sleep wasn’t the best.
