Not great!

Didn’t receive the room we were supposed to get. Bunkbeds awful. Queen beds ok for one night. Would not recommend. Restaurant had good cheesecake. Not worth $140.00. Spend an extra $60.00 an stay at the La Quanta.

Loved the restaurant and Starbucks also. I can honestly say it was the best starbucks drink I have ever had so I'm not sure what they did different, but it was so good! The restaurant was also worth every penny. Reasonable and our waiter couldn't have been any better. He was great & everything about the visit was outstanding!!

Great location/space/beds.

Great location to the dome where we were playing volleyball. Restaurant had great food and drinks! Could have stayed Open later, IMO. Also, wish there was a space for a group of people to hang out together for a bit longer than 10:30 quiet hours! Staff was amazing and kind throughout our stay!

You pay too much for the property to be so ran down and old. And charging fees for the water activities in the winter is kinda a joke.

Nice view, friendly staff, not for a quiet getaway

If you’re a sound sleeper it would be good. The walls and ceiling are paper thin so we were awaken most of the night until after 2 am. Heard everyone outside our door and the floor above us, and the plow truck beside us.

Nice room I did not request but no shampoo, etc in shower, no lotions. Dropped something and dirt on it floor by night stand and in couch. Disappointed but did not complain just observation. Really like our room heater was great, beds comfortable. The boat House food was excellent.

Loud!

Sounds travel throughout the building - footsteps above, voices through the walls between rooms. Very disappointed to be awakened several times in the night from a multitude of noises
