The location of the lodge was great. they were doing a lot of construction on the one wing. several of the outdoor amenities were not available to use.
Please note that the staff was very nice. However, the pictures online are very deceptive and this resort is currently under construction and not right on the lake. Yes you can walk down to boat ramp. The pictures online do NOT reflect the current situation of what the place looks like. The room was completed and was very nice but I feel duped by the owners and asked for a partial refund as not all amenities were available but did not get a response. Shame, shame for false advertising.
