We had the best time at this resort! The views of Lake Wawasee are absolutely beautiful—especially at sunset. It’s such a peaceful and scenic place to unwind. The food was seriously amazing. Every meal we had was delicious, and you can tell they put real care into the menu. Great variety and super fresh. The tiki bar was one of our favorite hangout spots—great drinks, fun vibe, and right on the water. Perfect for kicking back in the evenings. Overall, it’s just a great place to relax, eat well, and enjoy the lake. We’re already talking about coming back next summer!

Disliked: Room comfort
I have never been so mad at a hotel. I paid for a room that was shown in the picture, turned out it wasn’t the same room at all, also the TV didn’t work and we tried to lower the temperature and it went down one degree all night. The person at check out said “well you don’t necessarily get the room in the picture” and I can put in a ticket for the TV but other than that you’ll have to talk to a manager (who was not there.) This was my first trip with my guest and it ruined my stay and therefore both of ours.
