Check in was easy, room was clean and comfortable, and the balcony was delightful. We were there right before peak season so nothing was open (restaurants, pool, etc) but the facility itself was nice.

Spent one night while traveling from North Carolina to Missouri. Room was very clean and comfortable. Decor was a little dated. Had breakfast in the restaurant. Food was very good and some of the best prices we have seen recently. Service was over the top.

We stayed at the lodge and although it’s old it was comfortable. The area has a golf course right there and some really nice walking and bike paths. The restaurant on site has something for everyone. We’ll definitely be going back.
3-night trip

10/10

We visited frim out of state for the first time. We stayed in the lodge. You can tell they are older buildings but kept very clean. Our room was very roomy and comfortable. It would be nice to have a little mini fridge to keep cold drinks or left overs from the restaurant but otherwise it was a good stay.

It was amazing. I would definitely recommend. It was an incredible experience. It was so nice and peaceful.
4-night trip

10/10

Booked a 2 night stay/fishing adventure. Had drinks at the lounge the first night and our bartender was top notch. He kept an eye out and was right there ready to refill as needed. Had the breakfast buffet before leaving the next morning and it was good.
2-night trip

10/10

It was a nice park. Hotel wasn't anything special. Comfortable bed, dated rooms. You hear everything in the connecting rooms. No fridg or microwave even though the cabinets were made for them. Pool still under construction. The park staff was nice enough to mow the grass right outside everyones room at 7:55 In the morning. Brilliant. That should say somthing about the way the property is managed.
