First, the positives: The people that work here are all very nice and friendly and we found the food at both the coffee shop (breakfast) and lodge restaurant (dinner and breakfast) to be good. I was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable beds, nice pillows and decent linens. The lake was very nice and was not very busy even though it was Labor Day weekend.

Now the negatives: When I booked the hotel via a phone call, I was told that our cabin was on the lake. It was not. It was in a field across the road and down a path to the lake. I called two different times because after looking at their site, I wasn't conviced but each time I asked, I was told it was on the lake. Once we arrived and got to the cottage, I went back to ask if there was anything available. She gave me a map with two cottages circled and told me to check them out and see if I wanted them. Once I trekked to find them, I was they were not directly on the lake but in the woods. When I went back to tell her that these are not on the lake, she told me they only had two that were really on the lake but they were booked. I caution you that if you want to wake up and enjoy a nice lake view, this is not the place, unless you get one of the two lake homes. Use caution!

All in all, if you have a family or pets and want to hang out at a pretty resort that is very friendly, I think this would be a nice choice. Being on the water and having quick service so we could get out on the lake were important to us so it didn't meet our needs.

This resort has both cabins and lodge rooms. We spent three nights in the lodge for a short getaway. We found the rooms to be very large, nicely decorated and spotless. The room had a refrigertor and microwave, something they don't mention on their website. It isn't fancy. But everything is very well kept. The beach is clean with nice sand for playing and walking on, the water is shallow for quite a ways so it is nice for little kids. The water itself is tea colored as you get farther out. There are boats to rent and an indoor swimming pool for rainy days. All of the staff were very friendly.

They do allow pets in some rooms. The grounds are large and nice with tall pine trees. One night a week they have an all resort cookout. Bring your own meat, they provide the rest for free.

We had breakfast in the coffee shop and were disappointed. The pancakes didn't rise and were flat. However, we had dinner in the restaurant and it was excellent. So I think the coffee shop just had an off morning. We would stay here again.
