We recently stayed at the lake house for the second time and had another stellar visit! My husband and I traveled with our two young children and our room was large, clean and had everything we needed! We enjoyed the pool, the fire pits with the s’mores kits and activities on the lake, of course! My husband and my son also really enjoyed the bucket of balls included at the driving range! This location is a total gem and we will be back again for sure!

Everything was so amazing. Our room was conveniently located across the pool and next to the coffee shop. It was also PWD friendly. There are so many fun things to do - we can’t wait to be back again. Only complaint was there was a hair on one of the towels provided to us. It wasn’t a big deal as there were more extra towels provided.
