We stayed in room 307. We had a view of the lake which was gorgeous. Some trees did block some of the view. I was disappointed with the kitchen and living room area, they are in desperate need of updating. The loft area/bedroom and bathroom was very nicely decorated and clean. The maid service was great no problems. The indoor... More

I have no place to park boat trailer, they have increased the prices and now I am charged a 30.00 booking fee.....Too much when there are so many other choices on the lake....Sad Also they put us...

My husband and I took our 9-year old for a 2 night stay on Easter weekend. I thought it would be crowded in the Deep Creek area, but was pleasantly surprised to find the area very quiet. We stayed in Unit 309 and would recommend it to readers. It is a one level, one bedroom unit with patios in both... More

My family just returned from 4 nights at Will O' the Wisp. We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo unit. The unit is a nice size - just big enough for our family of 5. We loved the indoor pool and hot tub (one of the reasons we stayed there!). The pool and the hot tub were clean and warm.... More

My husband and I stayed one night in a 7 th floor room with a great view of the lake. It was a nice room but needed some updating. At 10 pm strangers were able to enter our room through an inner door that was left unlocked by the staff. It was very disturbing and when I complained the next... More

We made reservations here based on Trip Advisor reviews and price. We had reserved one room and I asked at check in if we could view a unit with a different floor plan. I was told none of those units were available. I was presented 2 giant brass room keys that seemed to weigh a pound each. Our unit, which... More

Have stayed in just about every style condo over the years - this time a studio loft (#709). It was very nice, clean & cozy. Decorated with photos of the travels of the owners and a few family photos. I liked that very much - made it seem much friendlier. Great indoor pool and outdoor beach area. I will stay... More

We just left a three night stay and enjoyed staying here. I originally booked only one night after reading the reviews but once we got there we booked two more nights. Yes, an update is needed especially on the outside of the building, but we had a loft condo which was quiet, very clean and comfy. It was nice to... More

Spent 6 nights here over course of couple weeks on business. What a nice refreshing break from business concerns to look out over the lake and enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Room decor varies quite a bit, as many units are individually owned/furnished, but both units were clean and comfortable, with all that I needed.
