Excellent

Property is pet friendly, staff were great they respond in a timely manner, we were so anxious for our cabin because of the previous reviews that it was smelly, but when we got there it was perfect, no smells at all. Great views of the lake in front, moorehaven cabin has sunroom with screen perfect for summer safe from mosqhito bites! Highly recommended.
The cabin was nicely appointed and had a very comfortable bed. The lake view was stunning. Such a tranquil and beautiful place. Everything that was needed was there. An excellent place.
Please do not come to this resort!! Expedia should never have posted this on there website as this resort is definitely not up to health and safety conditions. They tried to mask problems making it look pretty but so many issues with this place. Do not book this place!!!
Staff were excellent and quick to respond with questions . Very clean rooms. Beautiful view and plenty of water toys.
Didn’t like the unit heater as it was quite loud. The room was very clean but the strong smell of pinesol dominated the first day. It gradually diminished .
We enjoyed the peacefulness of the property. The grounds were well taken care of..Our 4 legged baby had a wonderful time. The cabin Tumble Inn was very cozy, comfortable and clean.the trees and the lake are beautiful. Enjoyed the sunset as well.
We had a great weekend getaway, the lake is right across the cottage, it’s a breathtaking view and staff was friendly and all the instructions were very simple to follow. We had a great time and would love to visit again
The property has had a DIY Reno without removing old rotten materials
, bathroom makeover over old materials
Thermostat has an out of order label.on it, fireplace does not work. Not adequate equipped for kitchen needs,
We asked for additional basics like decent pillows , but didn't have the patience nor desire to ask about the rest as we were going to move on in a couple of days, if staying a week I would definitely would have made it an issue.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Cute cottage but no where to sit outside as porch was enclosed and in the shade the whole time. All other cottages had an open porch.
Liked the lake side setting with a beach area suitable for activities of watching the sun set.
Had a good selection of watercraft available for guest use.
The barbecue on the deck was a real plus giving a lot of flexibility in menu selection.
This place is a hidden gem by the lake. Beautiful beach area with chairs and water toys, clean comfortable rooms, just what we needed to relax and recharge in nature.
Great location, lake access was perfect. Lots of kayaks/canoes/life jackets. Games room fantastic. Asked for a refill of propane for bbq and had it within minutes. Felt like we were in our own place with no owners but if we had any issues felt they would take care of it right away. Would higly recommend. Already looking at bookings for next year!
