The on site manager was very rude and disrespectful. We were hoping to enjoy a family weekend including our daughter and grandchildren. The rooms in general were not clean and the furnishings were broken and dirty, as well. The swimming pool was empty and unusable. We reserved a boat for usage on the lake but due to the high winds the manager deemed it unsafe and refused to refund our $699.07 rental fee. She offered to allow us usage of a gazebo and gas bbq and a “gift certificate” instead. When we refused her offer she became enraged and began insulting us. Needless to say we will never return to or refer anyone to this property. Please beware!

This is a roadside motel that backs up against a small part of the lake. It could use a coat of paint. I got a lot of mosquito bites over night.

Grounds were not kept. Not sure if it’s under new ownership because we went about 12 years ago and it was amazing. Shower is very very slippery and we were missing the shower curtain. Pool was empty and looked terrible! In order to use the bbq or fire pit you have to pay for it! Not worth the 249 a night that we paid.
