Beautiful views, fantastic water with great history. Once the "go-fast" boats are gone the week on the Lake is great. We'll definitely be back.

Good atmosphere, surroundings, outdoor fans are nice. But the course itself is pretty bland and not very challenging or interesting.

The location is A+ because it's in a nice cove. For site #26: The house layout is odd because of the octagonal house shape-the access to the kitchen was hindered from the spiral staircase (area to access kitchen was wide enough for one person). A person in the party sliced her finger open on a table that had been broken but not fixed. The house needed weeding--plants were overgrown and poison ivy was growing. The ladder on the dock had a split piece of wood that was ready to break off. The dock had fish hooks on the dock...this place just looked like it wasn't getting appropriate attention. Other buildings looked great and I'd stay here again, just NOT in #26.
