Have stayed here multiple times, always a great experience - the pools are fantastic, rooms are comfy, and things stay relatively quiet. Love the lake views, and the lake walk is fantastic! We often bring our dog, and the property is always pet-ready including stations with dog bags.

Staff was incredibly friendly. Not just a smile on their face, but did really seem like it was a joy to serve. Lots of positives about the resort and our stay (beautiful view, outdoor hot tub, restaurant) but staffing stands out above the rest. Very good experience.

The pool was unfortunately out of order, so the in room jetted tub was nice. You can beat the lake view rooms, however you are not on a side to access the water directly (no beach). We only stayed for a night, but wished we had taken advantage of one of their spring deals & stayed longer!

The staff was very courteous. The view is amazing. We did not get the room that we booked online. We thought we booked a room with a fireplace and ended up with two small bedrooms where one room didn't even have a chair to sit on.
