The resort was clean and nicely updated however for $260 per night , I would have expected much more. The bed was a small queen that was very uncomfortable built on the with pillows that were flat and hard.

The photos on the website confused me. I mistakenly thought that all the rooms were as nice and up to date as the rooms appeared on the website. After further review I realized I did not look at ALL the photos of the rooms. There was a beautiful view from the deck-- gorgeous lake etc. But the rooms could use some updating.

This property offered everything we were looking for. If you are looking to unplug and explore nature while enjoying modern anenities this place is for you. My husband and i enjoyed our time. Internet is spotty however the point of being there is to explore the beauty of the area. They should include a better antenna for local tv/weather. Otherwise, really wonderful well appointed place.
