Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The good: the lake is beautiful and the exterior is well maintained. The bad: The property is dark and dated. It could use a little refresh. But for a hotel in a park, it’s not too unexpected. However, it also could have been cleaner and my first room had a rattling AC and a broken lock. That’s just poor maintenance. The ugly: there’s NO INTERNET SERVICE! I intended to relax and work during my stay. But I couldn’t use my phone let alone work. You can’t even make call unless you stand completely still in one spot. I had to leave. If you want to be off grid, you’ll be fine here. But if you want to use your phone or computer in any capacity, it’s not a good choice.

Beware staying in the off-season! This place is isolated (beautiful, but in a park) and there is nowhere to eat nearby - and the restaurant is only open on weekends in October, which is when I went. Also, the cleanliness was iffy - there were hairs in the sink and tub and inside a folded towel. There is absolutely zero internet.

Dated is ok if its CLEAN and airconditioned!

The lake view and the grounds were beautiful. The hotel is dated but spacious and the indoor pool nice. Room would have been comfortable had it been clean, and the air conditioner working. When we realized the air was not working, we asked for a fan but they did not have one available. We tried to buy one at walmart but there were none in stock. Staff was pleasant at check in but didnt make any attempt to change rooms or to fix the air conditioner. We were going to open the window at night, (which we found unsecured and unlocked) but there was no screen to keep out bugs. The room had water bottles under the bed and bits of trash. The floors had not been vacuumed, or atleast not very well. The beds were comfy, sheets clean, and the pillows were fluffy, but we had a hard time sleeping due to the heat. The bathroom was clean. There were cobwebs behind the curtains and mold in the mini fridge. Overall, we would come back here becuase the grounds are so nice, but would want to inspect the room before accepting it. The play ground is really nice and there is alot of places to fish from shore if you dont have a boat. The beaches are nice and the boat ramps are all well maintained and clean. We were able to sit and watch birds and ducks & see trout jump. We got to see lots of deer at night as well. The lake was beautiful surrounded by touch of fall. Outdated is ok if its CLEAN and air-conditioning is working.

When we got there, the place was overtaken by a college football team. We had to park in employee parking and hoof it back to the lobby. We were then told that check-in had been moved back to 10 pm to accomodate the team, then we were told that actually our reservation had been cancelled that morning and we should have gotten an email (we did not.) Absolutely do not recommend as they prioritize big bookings over everyone else.
