Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location, very clean and so many amenities. Everything you could need. Pool and game room were fun for the kids. Loved kayaking and fishing off the row boat. This year the lake was very weedy and not good for swimming, but so much else to do. As well the AC is in the living room and wasn't all that helpful in the bedrooms, but the box fans helped! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3285d9d1-3376-4b60-b0f2-8fd3f9d87638-1754871502560.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bridget K.
