Property has a great location, friendly staff, and although we went during an off-season, still had fun exploring and fishing. Our cabin was clean and cozy, and had stove/pans/dishes/utensils for us to make dinner. :)

They were working on upgrades at the property, and it had just rained, so it was a bit muddy, but that’s not their fault; it comes with making the property better. Our futon was broken, and we needed it in order to accommodate our sleeping needs. The bed badly sagged in the middle due to the broken frame. We found that taking the mattress off the frame and putting it on the floor made for a much better additional bed. We did not complain, the kids loved the rustic sleeping.

Owners Kristen and Oscar were over the top fun and accommodating! Everything from the initial pre-check in Q&A that were answered quickly, to dining out suggestions they had and things to do, the wave runners were fast, and the entire trip was fantastic. Super cool resort and plenty of things to do. Didn't want to leave, but holiday trips can only last so long.

Loved it all!

Everything was wonderful! We will definitely be back again!

Just two little thoughts...please put the plunger in a small bucket/basket/trashcan instead of just putting it in the corner on the floor. Also, the website is confusing in regards to the indoor bar/grill. We were not aware that was not open until we arrived at the property.

The size of the room was good. Comfortable furnature. Loved the outside space, lake front, play ground, BBQ and fire pit. The pool would have been cool in the summer. Easy check in.

I didn't care for other people doing their own dishes, found dirty when we went to use them. (House rule, wash dry and put away) so not really sanitary. Having to clean up sand, and other debrey on the floor. I couldn't be barefoot because it wasn't cleaned. For what we pay that should be done. The coffee pot didn't work (I work 3rds) so when I wanted coffee there was no one to ask. Also if you want to pay at the property, they don't tell you about 50% hold, but they also ran the whole amount at time of booking.

This was a great get away and allowed us to be near the water and nature. It was clean and handy with all of our needs met.

The one complaint is that back to nature meant ants in our cabin. Other guests seemed to be ok in that regard. I guess we were just lucky that way.

Amazing facilities, like having access to a private beach, pool, boat and ski rentals all in one. Some of the nicest landscaping as well for great family fun or adult parties.

The checkout time because I didn't want to leave ever.

Great place for a family vacation. Plenty of room for the kids to run around outside. The shore line is awesome, with plenty of room to swim, fish, or just hang out. The pool area was clean , the dock area takes care of any boat owners needs. The cabins were unique, which makes it memorable for the kids. Also, this place ,although not cheap, does not cost you and arm or a leg to experience the lake shore line. if you are looking for a large condo with a ginormous TV,300 streaming channels, great wi-fi , an amazing kitchen, balconies, speedboats, hot tub, ETC. STAY HOME !!!

Maybe a little larger shower. no big deal.

The location was perfect and so were the views. There was always something to do and you don’t ever have to leave the property unless you just really want to go shopping or to another bar.

Perfect for a family trip. We were able to bring our dog. The cottage was very cute. It had a nice big fridge and some dishes to use. The A/C worked well. We loved the recreation area in the middle: there’s grills, picnic tables, a fire pit, ample seating, playground equipment, a pool, room for fishing, and a dock for swimming in the lake. Many of the other guests were hanging out there and everyone was very friendly. My husband loved the community feel.

The beds weren’t very comfortable. I ended up sleeping in the futon and that was much more comfortable. The pillows were awful. Next time we stay here we will bring our own pillows! Dogs aren’t allowed in the furniture, I was told if they find evidence (aka pet hair) on the furniture that there would be an extra charge. That stressed me out since it’s shedding season and it seems like the dog hair gets everywhere. It didn’t end up being a problem, but I was careful to dust off the sofa and beds before we checked out in case some hair had floated onto the furniture. There was a big security light in the parking lot that we couldn’t totally block out with the blinds.

Beautiful camping style atmosphere with lots of modern conveniences. Lots of activities for the kids of all ages.

Some cabins do not have a way to cook and none of the cabins have an oven. Used BBQ grills as my oven.
