Property has nice rooms with a lot of activities to do around hotel. Staff is friendly and helpful. Stores restaurants are easily walkable across Main Street. What are Spa is not special kids. Golf course nearby is not in good shape but really have fun with Pickleball.

Outstanding hotel for families. I almost do not want to tell everyone how amazing the views are or the large size of the rooms. Or tell about the super kind and attentive staff because I want to keep it my little place. Book it. Book it now!

I would give it 5 stars, but the hot tub wasnt hot enough, about 93-4 degrees. Geogeous views! Wonderful stay for families and couples. The game room is large and fun!

As this is a vacation club, not a typical hotel, you are charged a resort fee which I knew in advance. Amenities included a swimming pool, child pool, fitness center, pool table, foosball table, large chess/checkers, shuffleboard and cornhole set. Everything was clean and in working order. The room was well organized and clean. Had a full kitchen stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc. Had a stove, microwave and refrigerator. The bed was comfortable and clean. Only complaint was the couch was not comfortable. Since we were there only 2 nights, there was no room cleaning. Overall we had a great stay at this location and would definitely stay there again.

Everyone was SO nice and helpful. Greeted you anytime you walked in the lobby. Beautiful grounds, views from the lawn outside. Games for the kids- life sized chess was a hit. The only negative (which won’t deter me from coming back) is it’s a little outdated- carpet, fixtures. We will be back!!

This property was amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help my daughter when she hurt her finger at the pool. Thank you! The king, two bedroom was spacious and perfect for our family. The views were amazing and the outside area overlooking the water was gorgeous. The kids loved the giant checkers, ping pong and pool table. We spent a lot of time at the large pool and just felt very comfortable and relaxed all weekend. Thank you so much! We will be back for sure!

Booked vacation for my pregnant wife and 1 year old Daughter. Had two reservations to stay a total of 6 nights. When I arrived on Monday, I told the receptionist to give me a room to stay all week since we did not want to move to different rooms with pregnant wife and baby. He gave a room and assured me two days on a road I was taking cared of. After 1st reservation ended, new reception told me that I could not stay in the same room and that I would need to move with family to a different room. Very disturbing. I asked to speak with a manager and someone named Joe Forgette called me. He told me he could not do anything since the room was booked to someone who was paying more money. He did not care about my family. Stay away from This place. They don’t care kids, pregnant women or families. To make things even worst, I had to take my 1 year daughter to doctor and when I was coming back to the hotel they left a msg saying they were going to move my belongings to the new room without my authorization. What’s Wrong with this people? Insanity. Very disturbing. By far the worst experience I had in my life.

Beautiful grounds and great location. It would nice if you had a bigger pool area for kids. They kept jumping in the pool. I want them to have fun but to also respect guest :-)
