"Love that this is an older Resort/Lodge type property. Unfortunately, we were there in off season so alot of the amenities were shut down already. The resort is showing its age and it is definitely time for some updates. The lighting in the rooms, flooring and walls need some freshening without losing the appeal of the old resort! It's an absolute jewel, and would love to see it brought back to life!"
