We loved our stay! Beautiful property! We cbooked our stay for my husband’s birthday and for the Jaws float night. We enjoyed the float night but it was very unorganized. I would like to see tickets sold and time slots for entering the water. Maybe sell tickets online to help control the amount of people and a link to fill out the forms prior to the float. They were also taking boats out of the water at the time we were supposed to enter which caused a delay. Everyone we felt with was great. Super welcoming and helpful.

Very nice resort.

Very nice resort. We will definitely be back next year. Check in staff at the welcome center we’re very nice and helpful. Our access keypad didn’t accept the passcode we were given and the welcome staff member came to our cottage to let us in.

Our Happy Place #2

The unit was well-equipped with most everything you need. It was clean and orderly, other than a few dusty lamps and nik-naks here and there. The ladder to the front loft if quite dangerous, and the steps are pitched strangely...definitely for kids to ascend only! The rear loft was nice. The only real disappointment was the view. The pictures online are a bit misleading.

Parking was a bit of a problem

Loved the cottage! Parking was a bit of a problem though. Very congested, tight parking area. We stayed there near the end of October. I can't imagine how the parking situation would be in the height of summer.
