The room was not as pictured. The room type showed 2 beds and the room had only one bed. We planned a girls weekend and needed a second bed. When I inquired about it I was told they were fully booked and could not move us. They advised that the couch had a pull-out bed. I didn't pay $400 per night for someone to sleep on a pull-out bed.

Beautiful Getaway!

The room was very spacious and overlooking the lake! The balcony had comfortable Adirondak style chairs. Such a beautiful resort. We went to the driving range for a quick practice bucket which was included in our stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The on-site bar/restaurant was easy to walk to and had great food and a live band on Friday night!
