I had a delightful stay at this resort! The stunning lake views from the rooms and the cozy rustic decor made it a memorable experience. The availability of outdoor amenities like bocce ball and volleyball added to the fun. While the beds were quite firm, making them a bit uncomfortable for some, the overall cleanliness and friendly service made up for it. Additionally, I appreciated the complimentary beverages in the lobby, but the lack of a wider breakfast selection was a drawback.

My stay at this resort was a mixed bag. While the outdoor areas are lovely with a pool and beach access, the room I stayed in left a lot to be desired regarding comfort and cleanliness. The amenities were below expectations for a resort, but the inviting ambiance of the outdoor spaces made up for some shortcomings.

My stay had its ups and downs at this resort. While the views were stunning and the outdoor space was perfect for a family, the interior of our room was less than ideal with cleanliness issues and outdated decor. The staff were very accommodating and helpful, but frequent noise disturbances made it hard to relax. Overall, good potential, but needs improvement.
