Our stay was short-lived as it was a last minute, one night stay for our family. The biggest concerns were 1.) the carpet was really stained and looked dirty 2.) the a/c couldn’t keep up with the heat and looked like an older window unit 3.) the cold water knob in the shower was loose so it was difficult to temper the water 4.) parking was not clearly marked, so guests parked in random places and directions making it difficult to navigate the parking lot. The pool looked clean and inviting, but we didn’t swim. The grounds have different outdoor amenities like cornhole. It was in a quiet area and there was minimal noise from the neighbors. Check in was super easy!

We loved this place!

This is a beautiful little resort, and the owner is very kind. She takes great care of the place. It is very peaceful and she has BBQs to use, a fire pit and other games to play. The rooms are very clean, with good ACs/heaters, and the refrigerator worked well. Lovely place!!

The view of the lake is deceptive but it is a nice little place. The pool was very clean and my room was as well. The manager was super nice also. The town had very little to do but it was nice to get away
