Hidden gem
The service was incredible, the views were absolutely stunning (especially in the morning as the fog lifted off the lake). The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.

The room had a lovely balcony to sit on and watch the sunset over the lake. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
The resort was very clean and relaxing. A hidden gem that we was much more than we expected. We will definitely be back to stay!

Beautiful location. A gem of a 1970’s resort with that warm welcoming old school vacation atmosphere. Staff is very accommodating and there for every possible need. Price is way too low for the sheer beauty, location, cleanliness and quality of staff. This could easily be a 4 star resort with a little cash infusion. We loved our short stay and would recommend this state run resort to anyone who asks.

If you want to go back to the 70s … this is the pc
This place was so outdated!! We felt like we went back in time to the 70s! TV didn’t work and there was no WiFi or phone service. Thank the Lord we were just there for 1 night. The grounds are beautiful but the place itself needs major renovation.
