For the money it was OK. The Lake view and my Bayview suite was blocked by tall invasive grass. Entering the living room area had a sour smell, likely from people going in and out wet. The Internet did not work in the suite, but they did comp me the room fees. The hot tub in the outside pool was never on, but the inside pool and hot tub was fine, though crowded at times. The bedroom, the bed and the bathroom was great. Definitely OK for families with small children, but not exactly what I expected. It still wasn’t too bad. The staff was definitely nice, and worked very hard to try and make sure everyone was accommodated.

Includes standard daily breakfast which was nice as local eateries are expensive. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Had some recurring plumbing issues, but maintenance was responsive. Location was nice on the eastern bay with a beach and both indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs.

Beautiful location right on the water. The outside pool was nice. I did not like the room because right outside the window was the indoor pool so if we had our curtain open, we were looking at everybody in the pool. It was very loud was strange.

We absolutely love this place. This is our second year staying there and looking forward to staying there next summer. Breakfast is delicious, love that they have an indoor/outdoor pool and hot tubs and a very nice beach area with plenty of chairs and a couple fire pits. Highly recommend this place is you have a family. Staff is do friendly and it’s very clean. Rooms are big and you have a beautiful view of the lake and gorgeous sunsets

This property has a very nice sandy, swimmable beach with plenty of chairs for gathering. Our room was also clean with the exception of a stained carpet. There are several negatives about this hotel. The FREE breakfast, which believe me you pay for, is underwhelming. The first morning of our stay, arriving on time to breakfast, there was no food left. The dining area is very small and does not accommodate the amount of people staying at the hotel. The hallway carpeting was grossly dirty, groupings of dead flys were seen at ceiling height, dirty moldy windows noted throughout, damaged wallpaper and walls that need painting were seen throughout the complex. About 15 years ago I stayed at the Cherry Tree Inn and enjoyed the stay. The stay this time was very disappointing.
