Nice cottage property, quiet and great if you have a boat with access to the lake. Kids playground was old, basketball hoop was broken and the private beach needed some updates. I was hoping for a personal fire pit but there was only one public pit by the beach. Location was great, it was next to Zorbaz and Bar Harbor Supper Club.

We shared a cabin with 2 families. The cabin was new, clean and very comfortable. The beach was fun for the us, we used canoes, paddles boards and swam out to the dock. We did the little hike around the lake (maybe 25 minutes) and walked down for a fun snack at Zorbas. The equipment at the beach could have been in better shape, basketball hoop was missing etc. But overall, a great stop for a few nights.

The renters seemed in off season mode, but we’re very accommodating. Boats/ kayaks were available, but no life jackets. Quiet and nice property, although you may not get lakeside even if that is what you think you are renting from pic. Looks like if you come after Memorial Day, there is much more activity.

The property was so quiet and peaceful. We had deer roaming right out our window. Our cabin was spotless. The rooms were huge, the bathrooms had everything we needed and the kitchen was equipped with everything you need for your stay. We will be going back soon! I do have to say that the property was dark after sunset so we did have to watch where we walked with the steps and uneven ground. We could have used a lighted pathway but it was nothing that our cellphone flashlights couldn't handle. This place is a treasure!

We stayed in cabin 12 for 4 nights while visiting family. The view is amazing, lots of windows overlooking the lake. I liked that the cabin was at the end of the road so you didn’t overlook your neighbors. The area was very quiet. The cabin was super clean and ready for our stay. It was nice having a kitchen and washer/dryer although the washer somehow stained some of our clothes. The king bed was horrible! Super hard, creaky and springs were popping up all night. A nicer bed would have made the stay 5/5 because I would have liked to get some good sleep on my vacation!

LOVED the cabin but it was a bummer our stove didnt work. We changed our plans (ordered pizzs)so we could eat but it was an inconvenience. A heads up ahead of time would have been nice so we knew to plan to not use the oven and stove. A discount for our inconvenience may have been a nice touch since we couldnt cook at all. Otherwise, we LOVE the resort and it was beautiful, quiet, and perfect for our family getaway.

The cabin was nicely sized and accommodated our family of 6 perfectly. Beds were comfy, updated fixtures and appliances. I liked the secluded feel of the resort and how it’s surrounded by all the trees. Saw deer frequently when we were coming or going. The dock systems do need some attention. Several areas appeared broken and were uneven. Grassy areas surrounding the docks were overgrown. We enjoyed the beach one day. Nice and sandy. Perfect for swimming with my kids. They had fun catching minnows! Enjoyed use of the kayaks and paddle boards, but they were stored all along the sandy area of the beach. View from the lawn chairs was obscured by the boats, and it limited how much sandy area the kids could play on. Would be nicer to have all the “toys” arranged on one end, to allow for kids to play in the sand in the other areas. This didn’t bother the kids though- they loved the beach! The arcade was dirty and run down. Not fun for my kids. My husband and I enjoyed a drink at the bar one night- pleasant staff and tasty cocktails. Nice atmosphere. Overall it was a good experience. Fit our needs, but if I were looking for a longer stay (more than just a couple nights), we would probably look for someplace with more ammenities. This was a smaller resort, but had nice cabins to spread out (as opposed to a basic hotel room).
