Rosanna, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

At first I wasn’t impressed with the cabin but once we “made it our own” it was great! You should take a candle to take care of unpleasant smell, it works. There were a lot of deer in the area, be careful. The outdoor pool was great, it overlooked the lake. Get there early to get an umbrella. Apparently, you can go early, stake out your territory, umbrella and all, put towels on the chairs you want and leave for a few hours and come back whenever you want to.Despite that, It was fun and everyone was friendly, staff was great. Tip heavily. These kids are great!
Debbie, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

We really enjoyed staying at the resort and only wish that we’d been able to take advantage of some of the things on offer - like the pool and ping pong table! Our room in the lodge had a very rustic feel - wood paneled walls and lots of spider webs on the balcony’s railing (seemed to keep the mosquitoes at bay). The bathroom was very clean and bright. The bed was comfortable. The dining room offered a buffet or a menu for the meals we were there for (dinner and then breakfast). We opted for menu items for dinner and then the buffet for breakfast. The prices were amazingly low, and the size of the portions from menu items were amazingly huge. Lots of bacon! An absolute delight for me was to make a coffee in the morning and sit out on the balcony and look at the lake and watch the waterfowl and turtles.

Awesome place to stay. Just far enough to be away from everyone but not too far away from the hwy.
Joshua, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Not as described! Room was not what was reserved and was dirty. There were bugs in the room every morning and night probably due to poor weather stripping. Intermittent internet at best which also affected TV. Room phone only for emergency calls so you could only contact desk with your cell which only worked in specific area of room ( otherwise was in SOS mode). Housekeeping staff was professional. Restaurant buffet was cold and greasy, waitress did not provide menu to our table though a different waitress did provide one to another table not five minutes after we went to buffet. Pool was beautiful though lifeguards took loungers and were generally unprofessionally. Scenery was beautiful. Beach was nice. Marina and marina staff were great.

Love the balcony. Everything was comfortable and clean. All the staff was friendly, helpful. But was disappointed in the cable. The UK game (state team) was playing and could not get it on tv. No local channels at all.
Judy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice place. Restaurant was good.
Walter, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This property really brings you into the camping environment. The view is stunning. There is plenty to do for a weekend. Horseback riding, bison prairie, hiking, fishing, planetarium, sight seeing and more. The room and area around the lodges was very musty. It smelled like you were in a moss ridden forest. They folded the toilet paper but didn’t clean the toilet. The back deck was mosquito infested. Like hundreds swarming around. (Unusable - do not open the back door). Air conditioning would not cool the room down until 3am. TV did not work. Best amenities- lakeside view, proximity to activities. Book if that is your goal. Do not book if you’re aiming for any luxury in your room and board.
Brian, 1-night trip
