Overall, a pleasant experience. Having the deck swept and cobwebs cleared would've been helpful. A hair dryer would've also been a nice touch. We will definitely return.

Getaway weekend
We encountered several serious issues during our stay. Some of the units had unsanitary conditions upon arrival, including soiled toilets and, in one case, a used pair of underwear left behind. Additionally, one of the refrigerators was not working.Most concerning, all units were without running water for more than half of our stay. This meant no water for handwashing, showers, or flushing toilets. When we contacted management, we were told that water service would be restored — though limited — by Saturday. A case of bottled water was left outside each unit as a temporary solution.However, when we returned, there was still no running water. Upon following up, management denied saying water would be restored and mentioned they would look into offering a credit. Despite multiple members of our group reaching out, we have yet to receive any follow-up or resolution.This experience was disappointing and poorly managed, and we hope future guests are provided with better communication and service

It was Small and perfect!
The checking in and out was so easy. It’s set up just like a hotel room and so much cheaper. It was in a very nice place and right by the water was perfect. In walking distance from the bar and from where some other family was staying. For sure would like to come back again but for longer.

Looked like “some construction “ to room may have been going on before our arrival….floors were filthy with nails, insulation and dirt. Screw nails also found outside of room door and parking lot. Otherwise, great WI atmosphere! We will be there again this summer, hoping for cleaner areas. Blow dryers are not available as well.

Family vacation
We had 4 families that booked four rooms in a row. It was perfect as each room has connecting door inside if you wanted to be able to enter the other rooms from inside. The kids fished and adults relaxed on the beach. Perfect, peaceful location

Overall great place
The lake is beautiful. The bar and grill next door had a limited menu but awesome views of the sunset and live music! We did have a small glitch at check in, not being able to get into our room. The person on-call said she would be there in 45 minutes and then gave up the room next door.
Again, nice place. Clean room. Cute decor. Would consider visiting again.
