What Guests Are Saying
💬 Larry R.
“Quaint lodging, super nice staff. The golf cart from the resort was a good value and made our trip easier without having to stop and rent a cart. Drove downtown and took the kids to DeRivera Park for a picnic.”
💬 Brenda M.
“Great place to take pets. Each little cabin makes you feel separated from others. Plenty of open areas for dogs to walk. Great location to the ferry and to downtown.”

“Excellent. It was quiet and the room was very clean and comfortable. Stayed at the pool while my husband had a conference downtown.”
💬 Michael B.
“Overall a nice place and would stay again. My wife and I rode our bikes to Perry Monument and took in the lake view. Beautiful!”
