We were so surprised at just how cozy and wonderful it was! Parking was a breeze. Beach and water were AMAZING. Room was super clean. Just really, really NEED a mini fridge and microwave. It's just a must, especially with stores and such a minimum of 15 minutes away. The food at the restaurant was the most bland, luke warm, unseasoned, sketchy food I may have ever had at any restaurant. It was honestly inedible and I hate that because I love comfort food and especially in a buffet option. I was at least able to eat mashed potatoes but that had to hold me over for 12 hours after a long day of swimming and sun. The breakfast was almost better. Thankfully! Other than that, we absolutely loved every moment of our stay and my daughter asked if we could please stay another night. I was impressed with the comfort and beauty we were surrounded with at the lodge and its areas just outside the building. My goodness did it feel like a wonderful step back in time when people actually interacted with one another. We played board games in the lobby areas, air hockey in the arcade. Browsed books in the library area. Sat and chatted by the windows overlooking the lake. It felt so wonderful to see my daughter put her phone down and truly appreciate her surroundings. She and I were so happy we chose to stay here as we had never been even to the beach area before. What an amazing time! We will absolutely be back! Can't wait to try it in the fall with a hot cup of apple cider in the lobby!

Beautiful State Park. The accommodations and staff are fabulous. Wonderful clean rooms with a view of the lake. I absolutely love this State Resort. The food at the restaurant was not very good but besides that the staff and hotel were great and the park is amazingly beautiful.

Peaceful area with great amenities when visiting with family. Did not realize lodge doesn't come with microwave or mini refrigerator definitely would look into cottage next time or bring cooler. The area doesn't have lots of food options so bring your own food is a must unless you're going to eat at lodge restaurant every day. Amazing trip with my sister will be back next year.

Wedding Anniversary Celebrating

The weekend was beautiful. Very relaxing. We enjoyed the view from the room and slept well. We were not happy with the food. All state park food has not been good since Covid. The buffet has always been a family favorite but not this time. Staff was pleasant and eager to make our stay pleasant.
