We booked a King suite here last minute before heading up for the Labor Day bridge walk. I hadn’t read any reviews or anything, just needed to book something and hoped for the best. Needless to say we were absolutely amazed by everything at this hotel! The room was very spacious and clean, the kitchen was well stocked, they had complimentary s'more's for the evening bonfires, free kayaks for guest to use, the pool and hot tub are indoors in a very clean pool house, the breakfast had a huge selection and all of it was delicious! We had our 3 boys with us and they slept on the sleeper sofa which was made up nicely and was comfy. The king bed is actually in a separate bedroom which was really nice for privacy. We will absolutely stay there again in the future and I highly recommend it to others!

The firepits on the beach at twilight was a really nice touch. The smores, too. Using the ATV to deliver the Smores was too much, though. The beach isn't THAT big. Otherwise, it was clean and quiet, with a good breakfast.

Would not recommend

We stayed 1 night. The smell when we walked into the building was not pleasant at all. When we got into our room it smelled musty. I opened the curtains and there was a bunch of spiderwebs with spiders crawling. Not a pleasant sight at all. The breakfast was just ok. We would not stay here again. The service was very pleasant though.
