The property is close enough to the lake to walk to and we loved that. They are still working on some of the things they are going to offer and when they get everything finished it will be great. Great AC and comfortable beds!

Please note that the staff was very nice. However, the pictures online are very deceptive and this resort is currently under construction and not right on the lake. Yes you can walk down to boat ramp. The pictures online do NOT reflect the current situation of what the place looks like. The room was completed and was very nice but I feel duped by the owners and asked for a partial refund as not all amenities were available but did not get a response. Shame, shame for false advertising.

When we were not checked out, the hotel staff opened the door twice in a row without knocking on the door, which was a very bad experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
From the moment my husband and I pulled into the property we felt like we were in our own world. Everything is very well taken care of. Just Jake, who works on the property, was extremely helpful with so many different things and that really helped us a ton. We were so impressed that I called my in-laws to take the 3-hour scenic drive up to us. We were able to rent the house at the last minute for one night to accommodate them. The pictures posted to social for the property are beautiful, but I recommend anyone needing a reset this book this property TODAY. ITS GOING TO TAKE OFF VERY QUICKLY!
