Great find!! A little old school but VERY clean and spacious! We got a jacuzzi room with lake view, gorgeous area. Service on point. Shower head was AMAZING. Kid play area, beach volleyball court, walking path and small beach area. Wish we woulda been able to get in before 1 am, but came in after Cedar Point. Great place for family reunions or events!

Balcony off room and personal jet tub are highlights of this easy to access location with genuinely friendly staff. Having the option for a less expensive, low frills stay that is still more upscale than basic modern hotels is a gift when looking for a last minute weekend getaway. This place can deliver on that in both access to the water and the facilities on site.

Very cute and clean resort. Not a whole lot to do this time of year though. The beds are not as comfortable however and pillow was flat as a pancake. Breakfast was ok. Very loud stomping from people above us. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay

Nothing on website said pools where closed after Labor Day. Was told because we booked thru travel agent we could not have balcony room so we looked out the window to a wall. An extra charge for 94 dollars was changed at time of checkin. No refrigerator or micro wave. Toilet dirty, looked like blood spots on bathroom door. We left before 11 o'clock after second night but was charged for three nights. Would never recommend this place to anyone.
