Property was nice. Staffs was amazing but the room is kinda old and has a weird smell as soon as I enter the room. It’s really noisy at night. A lot of noises next door and rooms on top of you. You can heard they’re walking on the ceilings. I love the lake and everything else.

Mostly great, some room for improvement
Pros: Cute little lake area. Great for couples and families. Food and service at Amalfi was amazing. Jake at the front desk was very friendly and willing to help. Dog friendly. The live music was fun and entertaining. Great that water sports are onsite and somewhat included. They are very strict on giving you your “included” daily activities and try to charge instead. Fire pits and smores galore - love! Cons: Lake water is entirely brown. Residents on the lake have hateful flags up, seems like pretty politically charged and angry residents here. It’s a man made lake in the middle of a bustling city, it’s not exactly a wilderness getaway. We were totally upsold on paying an extra $400 for a lakefront cabin. We weren’t told it was HA…my boyfriend literally couldn’t fit under the shower. The room smelled like must so we called asking for more candles which helped. Went to shower at night and found out the hot water wasn’t working. Maintenance spent the entire next day on our patio with tools and equipment everywhere replacing the water heater and we were now offered another room. The carpeting in the bedroom smelled like pee and the bedroom door was completely off track. In a nutshell - don’t get upsold, don’t be surprised by the pure brown water and residents on the lake, bring some febreeze and your patience :)
