I think the property was sufficient for what we needed for one night. Walls were really thin, could hear the whole conversation at 4:00 AM in the next room. Patio door was really had to open. All was clean though. Check in was a quick phone call.

We arrived and to our surprise we were upgraded to a cabin instead of a hotel room. Nice by the lake. Cabin was clean and had dishes and cookware to use.

I will definitely go back

I really enjoyed being on the lake with my puppies. I didn’t see a way to recycle but I also didn’t ask. It was comfortable and clean. I liked it a lot.
