"This is an awesome place which should get more attention! Came here for the first time to attend a conference. Stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin, which was basically a house complete with dining room, kitchen, living room, fireplace, TV with cable, 2 bathrooms, and separate bedrooms. The main lodge was huge, with excellent meeting facilities. However, the main attraction was the outdoor offerings- a huge lake in which to kayak, swim, ride a pontoon boat, fish. Also lots of trails to bike and walk/run. Indoor waterpark facility mainly for kids."

"My friends and I had a wonderful stay. The cabin was nicely cleaned and stocked with everything you needed. We stayed for 3 nights and we still had extra of everything. We will definitely be coming back for more stays!"
