I think that if you stay in the middle location, it is probably best. We were at the “first” resort area which is really far from the outdoor pool, grille, and cafe. It is inconvenient getting in and out of the car for these options… I don’t understand why there isn’t a walk path between all three areas. If I had known, I would have said something. The activities are a perk, but make sure you enroll way ahead of time as they fill up. The cafe by the grille was delicious and the staff were great. The room itself was nice and spacious, although entering the bottom loft, from the entrance all the way down the staircase to the loft entrance, stinks! Not sure what the smell is but it is not pleasant.

We had the pleasure of working with Emily, the front desk/reservation department. She was so hospitable and supportive. We got a room thinking our view out towards the lake was gonna be perfect but unfortunately a tree fell and blocked our view. I left a message to reservation and Emily left a voicemail and got us a new room with perfect view of the lake. Communicative, responsive, and professional. We couldn’t thank her enough. I would like to thank the housekeeping staff also, for helping get our room cleaned and ready on time!
This is our new view! Breathtaking and airy!

Nice unit and view of the lake. Didn't like 16 stairs to get down to it. Could use more utensils, hangers and a place to set your suitcase! Limited food selection.
