Steve and his team were wonderful to work with. They basically gave us free reign and made sure everything we wanted was realized. The venue was beautiful and immaculate. Dinner was as delicious as it is in their restaurant.

The cabin that we had was small but had four bedrooms and fit everyone relatively comfortably. We were there for a wedding so didn't get to check out many of the amenities but it seems like there are lots of them especially in the summer time. The price of the cabins are a little steep, especially for the off season.This is a really cute resort on a beautiful lake.

- LLisa Szeker-Madden22/01/2024It was all very romantic! It was all very romantic!We went there for our honeymoon. Even though we went on the off season we were not disappointed. We had a cottage with a whirlpool for two and a wood burning fireplace. It couldn't have been more perfect. We had dinner every night at the restaurant and the food and service were excellent. Because we went in the off season, we had the swimming facilities to ourselves. There is an indoor pool, whirlpool and sauna. It was all very romantic! Can't wait to go back for our anniversary!We went there for our honeymoon. Even though we went on the off season we were not disappointed.
