10/10 Exceptional

Would stay again and for longer.

We had a private cottage with two bedrooms, very comfortable. Extensive grounds, nature trail, and a restaurant made our short stay enjoyable.

We had a great stay and the jacuzzi tub in our room was great. We will definitely be returning again.

The room was ok but not for that price, it is not resort at all, dated, AC didn't work well but what really was the issue 2 people sitting in their car for 2hrs doing drugs outside our room.

I wld stay again
Gail, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This place is worn out and not maintained.

Visited August 2025: The suite was okay, but not special. The deck was poorly maintained and not usable. The whole place was like that. The trout pond was nasty--no fish, dead water, a row boat full of moldy water, a dock that wobbled, and a path that was overgrown from disuse. The breakfast was icky, and the grounds were worn out. The "resort" was probably really nice 75 years ago, but now this is just a seedy old motel. But a very expensive motel.
Jeff, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice staff and continental breakfast options.
Andrew, 2-night trip

Back pain

The property has potential but needs lots of maintenance done. The mattress in our room was so uncomfortable I resorted to sleeping on the couch.
Denise, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

In need of TLC

Not the cleanest place. Dust ruffle was hanging across the floor and the floor was not clean. The walkway outside our door is crumbling apart. The tv volume is set to only go very low and is far across the room. The internet is awful. The bed was actually very comfortable. The place could use some TLC!
Christopher, 3-night trip

The rooms were very nice and the staff was friendly and very accommodating.

Steven, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Four disappointed things. Shower was hard to regulate. Golf course was in very poor condition. Hot tub at pool was not wotking. Breakfast was poor quality. They need a restaurant quality breakfast available for those who want to pay extra.

Leesa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is outdated but the staff are okay. For the price I have paid it is not worthy it. I don’t blame for the hotel but I definitely overpaid via hotels.com because the receipt I got from the hotel was way much cheaper than I have booked on hotels.com.

Going to stay there again for sure
