This property is beautiful and very large. The lake view villas were well worth the cost with a great back patio facing the lake. The rooms are well equipped and they will even deliver ice to your room! We rented a pontoon one day to explore the lake and the water was beautiful and clear!

This isn't my first time staying here. I’ve visited before with my family because I love the lake and have good memories. This time, I made a last-minute reservation to spend some quiet time alone after going through a difficult experience. The hotel seems to be in a similar condition as before, but I was disappointed to find that the walking paths for solo strolls weren’t properly maintained. Most of all, I was frustrated by a billing error in which I was charged twice for an unexpected fee, and even after calling, the issue wasn’t properly resolved.
