The Spillway did not disappoint. We only wish we hadn’t stayed longer. The units are brand new and in great condition. Nice kitchenette and breakfast bar makes it easy to enjoy food in but there are a few good options just a couple blocks away, but with a sauna, hot tub, bikes, kayaks all available on the property, you can also make a case for not leaving. We had a great time here. As a bonus the upper level (1BR) units have a common outdoor connection that is like a private backyard that is clutch for anyone traveling with kiddos or pups.

Very cute room but the smoke alarms went off at 4:45 am and 7:15 am for no obvious reason. We spent a lot of money on the room but weren’t able to get much sleep.

Loved it!

We had a great stay! It was such a nice property and a really nice room. We enjoyed the hot tub and going for a bike ride with the bikes provided by the property. We also sat on the balcony with our dinner. It was so peaceful and quiet.

I can only say great things about this property not only was it perfectly decorated everything to the smallest detail was thought out incredibly thoughtful and answers to every question you could possibly have from the host quick responses. The amenities were perfect a full kitchen with everything you could need the bathroom was amazing. The bed was very comfortable. The view was wonderful. We had nothing but privacy the entire time we were there. There was a rooftop deck with an electric fire pit as well as a table if we wanted to eat up there with ambient lights a great view of the spillway we could hear music from downtown. You could walk to downtown in seven minutes to shop or eat. There were plenty of areas to get food to go if you didn’t want to go out there were hot tubs, mini golf. A sauna outside walking trails, cornhole games amazing fire pits throughout the property. Everything about this place is incredible and I can’t wait to stay again.

We loved it. It's a charming spot and the fact that there is nothing behind the property but woods and the lake is wonderful. Watching the deer as we soaked in the hot tub was a real treat.
