This property while beautiful is a camp not a resort! Coffee always cold as chunky mugs sitting under A/C so they are very cold - thus cold coffee . Noticing this is not rocket science. Dining room not open for lunch or dinner early in week. Never did see the lake! Great place for families with kids, not for pampering.

Beautiful property. Very friendly and accommodating. So quiet and comfortable. The seasons restaurant was delicious. One of the best we have been to. We went both nights. A little pricey but worth it. Service and food was the best. I had pork chop, next night salmon. The pool was very nice too. Felt great on a hot afternoon. Would definitely stay here again.
