"Great stay, great view, and such nice people working there. The doorman was always smiles and happy. Pool was great and tiki bar guy was accommodating. Our king lake view room was big enough for our family with the addition of our blow up matress. Just a great stay."

They had a small area that you could walk into the lake but once you get about a foot in, they have a bunch of rocks blocking and making it a little unsafe to get in. I loved everything else about ..."
