No Lake/Beach Access for guests
At first the stay seemed lovely, the room was clean enough despite the bathroom not locking and water damage in the bathroom. The first night we bought "meal tickets" to eat in their facility ($29/pp adult) and the meal was... flavorless chicken tacos. Very disappointing and absolutely not a $29 meal. The next day my kids (carrying their sand pails and all) attempted to go to the sandy beach and were turned away by a lifeguard saying we did not have the right wristband color. He said we could ask at the front desk but but there was a fire alarm going on so "it might take awhile". When we did ask we were told only that simple HOTEL guests cannot use the beach or other activities, we'd have to upgrade. By then it was 4pm and no reason to (+ aggravated by the whole thing, crying kids, etc.). Breakfast (included) was very medicore though had a nice cold yogurt bar. One working waffle maker (which you do yourself) so very long lines. There was also a nauseating scent to the building from the cafeteria, my husband said it was a mix of cooking oil and cleaning products but it was very overpowering through the building but didn't make our room smell. Housekeeping was nice when we needed something (I looked for sheets for the pull out couch but they pre-make the bed in it which is a bit odd to me but okay.) Parking is frustrating, far away, fighting for unloading/loading spots. I would not stay here again, very disappointing food and experience.

Very disappointed
Check in was easy and friendly. We were given a tiny room in a run down dormitory style building, peeling wallpaper and folded up beds leaning against the wall. There were no amenities in the room beyond a sink, toilet and shower. No refrigerator (which was needed for a diabetic). No AC either, just a fan. Outside was mid 80’s and inside much hotter. When we asked for a room with AC they offered another fan. After much deliberation we were offered a room with AC for an up charge that literally DOUBLED what we had already paid. Breakfast was included but the food was cold. Not worth the price. Know what you’re getting into if you book here.

Wonderful location, staff, and grounds. Plenty of activities and occasional live music. Peaceful! My friend was not prepared for the older dorm like room with no A/C, TV, Frig, but that is on me. I loved the true retreat experience.

I discovered a gem that i did not know about. This is not only an Inn but a resort with plenty to do for all members of the family. Next time, I will come with a full package and ready to play. ;)

The property was very pretty. I was shocked that the rooms had no AC. I was in town for a family event and couldn’t get ready in my room because it was so hot and my room was 100 degrees. I had to asked family if we could shower and get dressed in their home so I could blow dry my hair etc. I was prepared for the room not having a tv which was not a problem but the no AC should have been on the website. Also, the parking is pretty far from the hotel and in the dark walking was very dangerous. I have never been so disappointed in a get a way It may be nice in fall but stay away in summer

It was not at all clear when booking online that this property was no longer an “Inn” but a YWCA sort of campsite. Our “room” was not in the Inn/Hotel but in a kind of outlying dorm room building with no air conditioning and an uncomfortable double bed. We had to park and walk through the wooded area and down some steps to reach the building in which we were staying. The spartan room cost $160 a night which was absurd for the facility. The hotel setting is gorgeous and view of the lake magnificent but the facilities were entirely unexpected. The room was clean, with nice towels and soap/shampoo, and had we known what we were in for we might have been able to enjoy the time there. But with no hair dryer in the room, I could not even shower. We could not leave fast enough.

Lovely location for a family get away.
This was very different from what I expected but fine. The room was clean and quiet. The “resort” has many buildings and the rooms are basic with no tv or phone. The restaurant has one serving a night and is cafeteria style. All was very acceptable and I have no complaints.
