Room and property were in great condition. As advertised, no staff on-site, though the lobby was open with any needed extras available. Only issue we had was that the rooms are prepared so that there is lite jazz music playing upon your arrival, which can be very nice and welcoming. However, the music is always on until the person renting it arrives for the night, and the music is set loud enough that it can be heard in neighboring rooms. One night it was nearly 11:30pm before someone arrived. Spoke with someone, via their text messaging system, who assured me that going forward the property caretaker will be instructed to leave the music at a much lower setting.

The area in the back would have been very nice if you are traveling with a group/family. We didn't know about the use of canoes until to late in the day for us to enjoy. The room was clean but a little on the small side. I personally don't like the no staff check-ins where they send you a code and there is no one in the office. But, we did not have any issues while we were there.

No signs showing numbers of rooms until you look at room doors Clark was very Courteous and helpful Microwave is in community room and there were problems with the code reader on the door could not get in to heat my food My Kehrig Coffee maker did bot work and it took 2 days to resolve. TV channel options were terrible and long durations of pause between shows on Samsung TV network Pool was very comfortable and area was clean It looked like there were Chairs and Tables between the pool and the lake I had no way of Knowing if we could use them or were they for the guests with the closer rooms I may be back as at least now I'm familiar with this one.

No food options. The bed was very comfortable but there was no mattress cover, just a fitted sheet on top of the mattress. Not very hygienic. The bathroom needs an entire renovation. The room was not deep cleaned.
