I can only speak to the one bedroom Cottage I stayed in. I have stayed in this exact room several times over the past 10 years. It is ADA. The shower has changed quite a bit since last time. There is now a shower curtain instead of shower glass that is way too small for this shower. The shower head is on the long part of the shower wall. Needless to say after a shower there is water everywhere , on the floor, drywall, baseboards. I don’t mean a little bit of water . For what you are charging for this room this shower is a disaster. If this is required for ADA the guest should know when booking that you really will not be able to take a shower in this room. It is nearly impossible. Very disappointed and won’t be beck.

The property is great for families! We stayed here because we were attending a wedding nearby. We did not bring our kids but we really wish to come back. The pool area is great. We loved that there’s onsite restaurants and even a coffee shop. Restaurant with lake view was beautiful and the food was delicious. We were welcomed with a welcome drink and I thought that was a such a nice personal touch. Loved that they included kayak, golf range and bikes to use. Will definitely be planning a trip back.

Property was nice but alittle over highly priced for the property in my opinion. My first room was infested with ants and I got bit after sitting in the bed , staff was quick to change me to a 1 bed upgraded suite but then my son had to sleep on the couch which is not my favorite option when booking a room with 2 real beds. The suite home was ok which the bathroom was in our room and it was the worst shower imaginable for a non assessable person . Imagine a large lock room open shower with no door a tiny plastic sheet hanging to while you and only a stable shower head that blasts water across the bathroom and doesn’t sit at an angel to shower anything g higher then your belly button . Now after thinking this was not great experience for the price I paid per night . The hotel tired but it wasn’t a good fix to their ant problem . Probably will not return .

We stayed one night but it was wonderful. Quiet, clean and the two pools are great. They have room service but very expensive but very delicious. Loved having a balcony to watch the boats come around. Would love to stay again!
