We loved our two night stay at this older but clean, comfortable and accommodating property. A bit dated but friendly staff, a nice pool area, coin operated laundry that we used, a patio (ours overlooked the lake), red chairs throughout the lawn and a short walk to the marina and restaurants. Breakfast buffet available for $18pp.
