Pam, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This property while beautiful is a camp not a resort! Coffee always cold as chunky mugs sitting under A/C so they are very cold - thus cold coffee . Noticing this is not rocket science. Dining room not open for lunch or dinner early in week. Never did see the lake! Great place for families with kids, not for pampering.
