We had a waterfront cottage that was modern and very clean. It had its own driveway for parking, a kitchette, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, dining area and living room with glass slider over looking the water/bay with outdoor patio with fire pit and seating. We golfed at the Exec course and loved it. We will definitely be back.

The property is beautifully crafted around the lake. The staff are welcoming and make you feel like a family member. They remembered me by my name and went out of their way to be accommodating. House keeping did a great job of taking care of us and the groundsman did a fantastic job of keeping the park and flower beds so beautiful. A big thank you to Waylon who was so friendly and helped us with getting our cottage nice and cool. Thank you to all staff for making our trip fantastic.
