My husband stays here every year for fishing. It might be a little older, but it's a great place to stay on the lake. It's within walking distance to everything you need.

Its a very nice place right on the water. That was our room. Can watch all the boats go by.The lady at the desk was great. Only thing I noticed needed grab bars in shower, We enjoyed our stay both times we was there, We had same room. We really liked that room. Took pictures from our window. We sat out back on deck. Have nice tables,chairs,umbrellas. If was younger we would go again
