We stayed in the boathouse down by the water. Staff was very helpful with booking. The inside was spotless with great bedding and many extra touches..coffee, dish soap, first aide kit to name a few. Great reading lights next to the beds. Plush towels too. The roof of our boathouse was a picnic/play area that was very noisy if people were using it. The swim area for the resort is very small and RIGHT next to the boat house. Again, very noisy. If you don’t mind noise or want to be in on all the activities, this would work for you. If you are looking for a quiet retreat… not so much.
