Spectacular property, amazing staff, close to anything you need. The pool area by the lake is grand. Awesome bar area and enough to keep kids busy as well. It’s so nice having a very nice property in the villages to stay at while visiting family there. Will definitely be back.

Disliked: Amenities
Room is ‘tired’ & a lot smaller than shown online. Staff was courteous. Although so-called ‘pet-friendly’, not allowed even in outdoor dining (unless you have a service dog). Location is good in that it’s within walking distance to town and the boardwalk by the lake is charming. All in all, not sure I’d choose to stay there again.
