Our stay was short but we enjoyed walking the property, the community fire pit (met some very nice people) and used the pool facilities. Highly recommend this place, especially with kids as there are other facilities that are kid-centric that we did not use.

Second time staying this year. First time was in August, we stayed in the “Chalet” but this time (October) we stayed in a 2-bedroom. Much nicer and more private than the Chalet. We saw many deer and wild turkeys around the property and it was lovely overall. It was our 15th wedding anniversary and although I sent a message to the property about that, asking about firewood for the fireplace, they did not respond. So they aren’t the best at communicating but we had a quiet nice anniversary nonetheless. Got firewood in Huntsville.

The place is very convenient and we can get access to parks and skiing very easily. The owners are very nice and kind, they refunded me one night since I booked for two nights but can only stay for one night. Highly recommend it and will come back in summer.

We had a good relaxing weekend. Even though we were ineligible to enjoy the on-site amenities due to not being vaccinated, we had a great time. Check in and check out was easy.
The chalet we stayed in was outdated, need major renovation. plenty amenities on site and activities you can do.

Nice and accommodating resort
Nice resort with a nice and private beach, staff were nice and they accommodated my EV charging which made getting there and back home a lot easier. Our cottage had a lot of flies inside like a dozen or so, they were a bit annoying. I would’ve wished that they had a way to get rid of them when the cottages are empty. Otherwise the view was amazing, nice activities. We took the cheaper chalet, rooms and bathroom were small and nothing fancy but does the job
