Rooms are a little dated but the property with the small lake and waterfowl provided an overall relaxing and peaceful experience. Would have loved to have gone out on a complimentary paddle boat but it was too late in the season.

I got a reservation for a nice room in the Lodge, but the Lodge is now closed and instead I got a very dated cabin nearby. I was disappointed they did not inform me that the Lodge was closed so that I could make alternate accommodations.

The motel room we stayed in was dated and the bed was really uncomfortable, however, the sweet lady at the front desk was so apologetic and kind. Her friendly personality and help with this matter made it a positive experience and I would recommend them.

Peaceful, clean, and comfortable!

A great place to stop. Our room was easy to find, and was scrupulously clean. The resort has age, which shows in the little things such as some desilvering in the mirrors and some outdated decor. However the place was kept very tidy and appears well maintained. We were pleasantly surprised with the kitchenette in our room. The A/C worked great and the resort has many complementary amenities such as a fire pit (wood provided) and paddle boats. The area is quiet and peaceful. We had no issues during our stay and would gladly return.

Cabins could use a little TLC (dripping faucets). No housekeeping service for the 3 night stay (towels with holes in them). Small pillows. Only 2 coffee discs for the entire weekend, Plus side -- well stocked fire pits and personal outdoor grills. Reunion building was great.

Don't trust the online pics w/ this place.

This place looks great if you ck it out online. No iron or ironing board provided. Room stunk of muskiness, rug needs a shampoo, bath needs a reno, no fan in bath. A/c didn’t work properly & it was hot that day/night. I really expected a decent stay but online rep was misleading. Was glad to leave & glad only booked 1 night. I’d never rec it to anyone. We loved SD tho,, do visit it, but stay elsewhere, it was no bargain either, lesson learned.
