We stayed one night but it was wonderful. Quiet, clean and the two pools are great. They have room service but very expensive but very delicious. Loved having a balcony to watch the boats come around. Would love to stay again!

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.

The staff were very friendly, from the resort to the restaurant and the sail boat house staff were all great. I plan on visiting the Lake house more often and love the place. My only concern with the trip was that the carpet in the hallway was dirty from previous stains, the bed was really bad. My back was in severe pain most days I woke up, it felt like metal bars were below the mattress. Other than that I think the place deserves a 5 out of 5 because I love it so much.

Great Spot But Pricey Fee's

The nightly rate of $450-up plus a $48 resort fee plus four other fee's and CA taxes made one nights stay over $632!! This is not the Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons. You can't swim in the lake. The rooms are clean and have all you need but small. One coffee shop with $7-$8 coffee? Pontoon boat and kayak rentals was a great ideal! Everyone who works here are the SWEETEST! Two pools great ideal but towel fee silly. Shout out to Audrey at the Pool, she made our visit amazing!! We had 106 people for a wedding, she was wonderful with everyone, all-ages. The local restaurant has good food. Everything in resort shuts down at 9pm. Amalfi restaurant next to resort but very pricey with $48-up entrees. Great place but too expensive for families or people on a budget.
