Lake front property kept in excellent condition Great walking paths seats to sit in. This was an older establishment but had been kept well. They should replace terrible stained chairs in room. The plumbing went out at 3 am no water or toilet but it was due to weather but it was a decent stay otherwise.

We did enjoy our time at this property. The floor above us is paper thin, so we woke up with the family above us much earlier than we hoped. The lobby area was beautiful. The rooms are nice. The bathroom had some mold around the tub, but overall clean. Our patio off of our room could have been brushed off. A good bit of spider webs. The Oak restaurant on property was phenomenal. It was easy to rent a jet ski and get on the water. Great staff all around. Would come back!

Ants

Everything was great until we got ants in our room. It wasnt the ants that disappointed me but the lack of caring from the woman who was working. I explained the situation and told her i couldn't change rooms at the time due to a excursion planned and payed for. I asked if the room could be sprayed while we were gone for the entire day. When we arrived back nothing had been done and we had ants EVERYWHERE. When i switched rooms no one helped me and it took me almoat 2 hours to pack and then unpack again. I was only upset by the lack of caring. Ants cant be helped but i would have appreciated just a little consideration or an offer of a hand. Otherwise it was a beautiful place and everyone else that worked there was great. I would stay there again even after this.

Sophy claudia

Too expensive for what it offers. Upon check out, they charged $25 dollars a day for using the amenities,such as the pool which was not open until 10 am ,the check out time. The bed and the pillows were of bad quality and very uncomfortable. I upgraded to a room with aview,which was a partial view of the tree covwred up lake abd a view of the stored boats. The coffee machine did not work. Everytime I passed by the reception,there was a guest complaining about something. The only thing i liked was the pool. This property overcharges for what they offer.
