Very nice stay

Very nice, very clean room. The mirror in the bathroom was very low, face height for our 5'4" person but no one else. Loved the deck chairs and enjoyed sitting out there with our coffee in the morning. Beautiful resort.

My sister and I took our families and our parents here for Fathers Day weekend. We got the 10 people cottage and we all fit nicely. The rooms were nice, clean and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. The kids had fun in the pool, on the swings and at the basketball court. My dad enjoyed playing horse shoes. The tetherball was fun also. The firepits werent in and the kids were expecting to make smores there, so that kind of sucked. My only issue with our stay was that there wasn't any type of night light in the hallway or a switch for the light near the rooms at the top of the 3 steps. My 70 year old dad got up to use the restroom in the middle of the night, and made a left instead of a right and fell down the 3 stairs and into the door of the bottom room. He had a huge bump on his head from this. I think some type of lightning in the hallway should be installed to prevent this from happening, because waking up in a new place in the middle of the night and not remembering the layout and having steps in the hallway can lead to an injury like my Dads or worse. Luckily he didn't break any bones and was okay other than a headache and bump. All in all it was a nice getaway and we enjoyed our stay.
