The location of Blue Moon Resort was perfect. We stayed in one of the motel rooms which was smaller but the cabins along the water seemed idyllic and I could imagine bringing a bigger group to stay and enjoy all the lake amenities. We only stayed one night. I appreciated how unfussy everything one and know the rooms may have been recently painted or updated. I always wish they would leave the original charm.
