Deborah S, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

Very nice hotel especially for the price! Very friendly staff. Love the bonfires every night. Only small complaints are the “sandy beach” area doesn’t go into the water and the spectrum tv was spotty sometimes. Other than that great stay and will be back

Tia, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Our room was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We loved the setting on the beach, and the campfires and s’more kits each evening. There is a free shuttle to and from Shepler’s Ferry if you are going to the island. Slight drawbacks—bathroom and pool area outdated.

We needed a place to stay last minute and this was one of the only locations with an opening. This night stay ended up being amazing- our suite was right on the water, the beds were comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The firepits and s’mores were so fun. I definitely recommend this place for Families.

MARK, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Room was clean and functional. No maid service for multiple night stays, just towels. Beds not as comfy as home, yet sufficient. Nice ambiance around the beach area with the fire-pit complete w s'mores. Disappointed in the beach is not swim-able. Would stay there again.
Akrum, 2-night trip

8/10 Good
