Nice little state park. Staff was all very friendly and helpful. We stayed here so we could play the golf course the next day. Course was great. Only wish the restaurant would have been open the day we arrived. First night could hear the next door rooms TV all night and the sheets are hard. Otherwise nice place to stay with your pup.

The lodge was clean and the staff was very accommodating. We were put in a room that the air conditioner was loud and they switch our room with no hesitation. The water was was very muddy so you couldn’t drink it and I didn’t feel very clean after showering.

This is NOT a 3-Star Property. This is a 1 or 2 Star at best. Maybe a nice property 20 years ago (?) - but neglect of the hotel in favor of the golf course facilities is readily apparent. Unusable pool. Derelict tennis courts. Common areas in shambles and left dirty and disheveled. Unsecured WiFi - when available - made working for me impossible. Chose the property based upon the 3 star rating and glowing Expedia reviews - now, in hindsight, obviously faked. We stayed in the "Lodge" - not the ($$$$$) cabins which look like new construction. Not sure why they were built when the rest of the place is in such shambles.

Mediocre

At check in they had the amount I owed wrong and still charged me more than what I was supposed to be charged even after I showed them a receipt of paying half already online..their response was well this is our rates now..I had went through hotel.com and was charged half up front and was suppose to pay the other half at check in. I was hasseled about the receipt as well. They tried to collect the entire payment from me and then again at check out as well. Not to mention I had to come back after recovering my keys just to find out they didnt work and had to go back and get another set from them. Customer service and checkin check out was terrible but the room was nice, AC was real noisy but other than that it was nice. Not sure why I had to pay a parking fee onsite since I parked right in front of my room. They have a parking fee and a resort fee. I wont stay here again. The outdoors were the nicest thing about the stay.

We could ride our bikes and or walk to the lake and surrounding area. It was tranquil and clean. I wish the pool was open longer than 6 pm, we got there too late to swim. It is beautiful and quiet.

We have stayed before and had a great time. This time was different, the pool was full of people that were not staying at the hotel and smoking weed at the pool at 3:00 in the afternoon. Later that evening several cars pulled in (also people not staying in the lodge) to loudly party in the parking lot. I did not feel safe with just my young son and I.

Modern update in a beautiful spot

It has been several years since my last stay at this beautiful place. It went from bad summer camp to modern and luxe. I look forward to finding a reason to stay again!

This was the best place to stay in the area. It was a deal in my opinion when you look at the price and the quality of the room. I will definitely stay again and will try to plan time to take in all this place has to offer.
