    It would have been nice to have the restaurant open like the advertisement said , the end of October. A few maintenance items like water stains on ceilings, and a few exterior walls, And a few door ways with chipped paint on the frames. I remember a better maintained facility a few years back but, I also consider business took a hit with Covid. We are lucky the Resort is still open Toilets are great for kids but someone with Arthritis like me can not practically sit on the floor and get up again by myself.

    I liked the familiar surroundings. I have been coming here for close to thirty years except when my wife got sick five years ago and passed last March. This place brought back many fond memories that can not be replaced with a dollar. I came too late this year but I like the restaurant at the Resort, Breakfast and Dinners. The place needs some touch ups but overall was quite enjoyable. The Staff that were there were great,

    The beds in our room were really rough, and the room was a bit dated. Also they didn't offer breakfast everyday, it is only on the weekends. However this was a good hotel over all and the staff was amazing.

    The staff and location was wonderful. They helped fix our room so we were on the side with the lake. We loved being able to go out to the water at night and look at the stars. Just make sure when you book your room you are on the side of the street with the lake, that way you don't have to cross the road to get to all the amenities that they offer. Oh, and breakfast is only offered on the weekends.

    We were disappointed that the bar and restaurant were not open. Neither was the game room.

    The bed was very comfortable. The view was exceptional. The location perfect.

    Decided to have the breakfast buffet, I thought since this was a resort, breakfast would be a great choice. It was terrible, the bacon was barely cooked, potatoes were hard. We had a few bites, left, and stopped at a diner on our way home.

    It was clean, bed was very comfortable

    Game room & bar was closed. Very small Tv. Wish sliding glass door opened for fresh air, ac was kind of loud. Fireworks was posted to start at 10:00PM and started at like 9:45 went to the store would of had time and missed the fireworks because they started early was disappointed was one of the reasons we was staying at the resort.

    Close to the water. Front desk agent was nice and quick for checkin. Room needs some upgrades but was comfortable and clean.. Would possibly look into for a wedding

    Overall our room was clean however I found hair in the drawers which Grossed me out. Overall it was a nice experience but two pricey for the entire experience. So with that probably won't stay there again.

    The staff was exceptionally friendly which I always appreciate! Great location with conveniences nearby.

    Indoor pool and hot tub didn’t seem very clean (water was cloudy), restaurant wasn’t open, breakfast buffet was just okay for $15.00. Room rate was very expensive ($399 on Friday night!) for the quality of the resort. Housekeeping services apparently have to be requested since we didn’t receive any.

    Resort is right on the lake. It was great that drinks and food service were available on the beach. The beach bar was nice. Staff was very friendly and service oriented. The beds were comfortable.

    Not much we didn't like it really was a fantastic stay. The food wasn't great our 1st night, but they did have a double wedding and things were a bit crazy. After the weekend the food was much better. We even extended and stayed an extra night. They do an amazing job making it family friendly and offering a lot of activities for the children.

    Breakfast should be included. Indoor pool was a little cloudy, but still wonderful. The room was very clean and comfortable, but could benefit from a microwave. The location was perfect. So many amenities it definitely made the stay enjoyable. We really loved everything the resort had to offer.

    That our room was across the street from the main building. The bottom drawer in our room wouldn’t close and would keep opening up when closed.

    I liked the beach bar/restaurant

    I wish I knew when I booked that our room would be on the second floor. We traveled with 3 kids (8,6 and an infant) and we had to carry an insane amount of stuff up to the second floor which included the constant up and down of a stroller. Also- I was unaware when booking that there was a back building across a busy street. I wish we had a room on the lake side, first floor. I guess we’d know for next time what to request.. you live you learn.

    The location of the hotel was great… right on the water… lots of chairs to lay back in and relax. Loved that there was a beach bar with food so we didn’t have to leave for dinner and we were able to sit at the table to have food and drinks while our kids continued to play while we watched them.

    Our room was across the street at the Inn. It was so far from everything. The street is very busy and dangerous to cross with no crosswalk . Drinks were pricey. I would stay again but would not stay across the street at the Inn.

    The location is great! The lake front swimming area is very nice. The staff on check-in was very pleasant

    We stayed across the street at the Inn. our room was on the first floor and you can hear the traffic on the second floor right through the ceiling.
