Very courteous , welcoming , checking in.
The rooms are OK.. The beds not so much.
Way over priced for what it is......more like a $75 per night motel.

My partner and I really loved this motel! It was clean and the staff were friendly. Only downside was that the bed was so squeaky that it would wake us up if the other person moved or got up. Otherwise, great place.

Outside environment was very good. The room we were in (#5) was tiny and the bathroom totally too small, including the shower. The AC unit made an annoying vibration sound almost all the time it ran. The mattresses too hard. Other than that, it was OK.

The workers were absolutely amazing. We had 2 children with me and my girlfriend. Its was an unforgettable experience. We even ran 10 mins behind our checkout time and they told us not to worry. I rented cottage 15 a queen 1 bedroom cottage and the children slept on the futon outside in the closed in pourch. They had everything youd need for cooking plus grill on site. Also they had 2 nicer grills by the gazebo with activities horseshoes and some round ball game. A beautiful dock and large green grass ares for the children. Id give this a 10 out of 10. Im already planning a trip in August! Oh i forgot to mention the pool! Really nice!
