I loved staying here; the staff and everyone were very nice and friendly. The lodge is in a great location. Has a nice-sized gym and pool. The rooms are very cozy, clean, and modern. The food is great. The Cove was a lot of fun and gave a great opportunity to meet some locals. I will stay again often.
Beautiful view from my lake side room.

I the continental breakfast was just distasteful, lacking pretty much everything. The room we stayed was so stinky. The bathroom was the worse part of all. Didn’t have toilet paper, and the water in the shower and sink smelled like excrement and rust, we felt dirtier after showering! Like how? The pool was so dirty on the bottom, the water in the pool old, and so stinky as well. I think the only good thing my husband and I really liked and enjoyed was the hot tub. Nothing else. Food was crazy overpriced as well. Overall the experience was jus bad, not just bad, like really, really bad, bad.

The lobby is very welcoming and the options for the bar/restaurant were wonderful to have onsite. The walkway on the 2nd floor to our room had a rotted board and the door plus patio door was unlocked when we arrived. The pool, gym and locker room building was convenient. At night, the room stayed cold and when the heater kicked on, it blasted cold air before turning warm. We loved the location and this would be a great spot in the summer since you’re not indoors as much.
