The property overall is very pretty. During the check-in, we requested additional pillows, which were never delivered. Approximately 730 in the afternoon, early evening, my husband went to ask about the pillows and additional water and there was absolutely no one available. The staff had gone home. The shower didn't drain whatsoever so my husband had to wait approximately 3 hours before he could shower without fear of overflow. Operationally the company has many issues that need to be addressed.

This was horrible. They took our money, and put us in the waterfront room we paid for around 6PM. We left for 2 hours and there was an outdoor party with bad noise masquerading as music going on upon our return around 8PM. We asked the hotel staff when it would end and they said at 1 PM. We told them this was unacceptable. They then offered to either refund our money and leave or take a substandard room that we found out had no hot water. We took the room as we had no place else to go. And to add injury to insult, they offered us overvalued services in exchange, when they should have been offering us a partial refund. And they blamed Hotels.com for their refusal to offer a refund, stating that We paid a premium for the room and got far less. I am filing a complaint with Hotels.com. We should have been offered a partial refund. You should be wary of lodging with them.

I was going weekend vacation with my wife, Expedia make a mistake not making right connections, end up I have to stay 1 night for $900, at beginning I told the hotel owner it is not his fault so I can paid the amount and he promise to give me written note a big discount for future stay to compensate my lost, and the next day worst part the owner was not honest there’s nothing written, no breakfast no one to checking out, it’s not about money lost, such a bad feeling that a vacation hotel owner lying and Expedia have such bad communication to help a royal customer.

The location is great, but the "hotel" (really a kind of country club that rents cabins) is over-priced for the services and amenities. No telephone or a/c in my room, no wifi, no bathroom toiletry kit, nylon sheets and a broken coffee table.

Beautiful resort with stunning views. It almost feels like the whole resort is to yourself at times because there’s only a small number of cabins (which are modern, gorgeous and on the lake) with just a handful of guests. It really is a special getaway. The staff is also kind, patient and super accommodating. We would enjoy going back!
