We have stayed here 3 years in row. There is 8 people in our fishing group and they have always made sure we had plenty of room. plus we'ver got room to park our boats and charge them up at night. We've never had any problems leaving our equipment in the boats at night either.

The resort has everything fishermen need. Great location, spacious rooms, comfy beds, and warm showers. Extremely nice staff. It's family owned and they're proud of their resort. Our group of 6 will be back.

We had a very a small room in a cabin. The whole place was very damp, ideal, it turned out, for slugs. Getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I stepped on one. Ugh. The whole "resort" is pretty run down, and mostly empty, at least in February. The owners were very nice, and are... More

We are so sorry you had an unfortunate encounter with a slug while staying with us. We have a service that sprays each unit on a monthly basis, but with the woods around, sometimes insects still get inside. And we're sorry you weren't happy with the resort - we use the winter time to remodel and upgrade units while business... More

Positive: The room is very, very clean beyond what you could experience in a rural area. The accommodations are typical old rooms like other resorts in the same area, but the owner goes extra miles to make sure the room is as nice and prepared as it could be. The owner owns a few resorts. Instead of randomly assigning us... More

We were able to get a reservation only 2 weeks in advance for probably the busiest weekend of the year, so one star just for that! It was a bargain price compared to the state park resort just down the road that didn't look any nicer from the outside, another star for that! We were able to bring our dogs... More

Ok, this is NOT a five star hotel. It's a fishing cabin designed for those who are there to go fishing. I think the majority of the people staying there are guys who get away for a guy weekend. It was clean, quiet, and the folks that own it are very nice. They have grills and outside picnic tables. The... More
