We stayed for 4 nights in the hotel area. The lake view is great, the room was clean, the food was very good, and the wait staff were friendly and punctual. If you bring a boat and rent a slip, make sure to bring bumpers. The ones on the dock can be crooked or even the pads are missing. This isn't a real big deal but for $50 a day, I think someone could check them and straighten or replace. I asked one of the employees how we get rid of our trash and they said just throw it outside the entrance to the building and it will get picked up. We went somewhere, returned about 4 hours later and there were 10 bags of trash by the door. Maybe put a box or some sort of trash container there. Looked "tacky."
