Great place to stop on the water. They are over priced tho. Otherwise walking Tacos is the bomb and so is the ice cream.

I brought my parents with me to this relaxing resort. We loved being here. I called to make reservations and spoke with Michelle. She was so helpful and truly understood what our needs were and accommodated us. We arrived late (it was dark) and she guided us into the property. She gave us a rundown of the property and where everything was and if we needed anything to let her know. Very sweet and I appreciate her more than words can express. This is a beautiful property and very relaxing. The rooms are very clean. I will come back again.

Poor fishing and no help from staff. We came late in the summer just to fish and relax. Beautiful grounds but no help with our boat at their docks at least They were open but not in operation…huge disappointment as we had a summer of travel throughout MI, MN. and we’re looking forward to a finish in style.
