Loved our stay here. They even let us do a late check out at 12:30pm. Water park was fun and the Pub is very affordable. The gift shop is nice as well. Definitely recommend for adults because the water park is fun and depending on when you stay there won’t be many if any kids. Front desk was nice and hotel is good as well

When we checked in we could not find anyone at the front desk for at least 15 minutes. Went to the room and both beds and bathroom were covered with pet hair.

We arrived 45 mins early for check in. Asked if we could check. Its was a no. Asked if we could use the pool till our room was ready nope. During our stay all night long people screaming at their kids doors slamming. Couldn’t get a good nights rest. On top of it our old ac unit in the room worked half of the time. We couldn’t get the room under 76 degrees. Wouldn’t recommend staying over night but would recommend just using the pool.

Very nice beautiful facility. Really gives you the "up-north", lodge feeling. We stayed only one night and it being towards the end of the summer and a Sunday night, the "Pub" wasn't opened. We were there to watch our Granddaughter and Grandson water ski in the Min-Aqua Bats ski show. After the show was over we had to find someplace to eat and everything this time of year closes at 10:00pm or isn't opened Sunday. So fast food it is. We get back to the hotel and thought we'd go lay around in the hot tub, but the pool area closes at 9:00pm this time of year. We need to go earlier next year ... and stay longer!

Dirty room, unfriendly staff.
The registration staff was not friendly. Room was dirty with many stains on the carpet. Old dirty couch in the room. Sliding glass door looked like it had not been washed in a long time. Screen door was dirty and had clumps of grass clogging the track. Considering the cost I was quite disappointed.
