Summary: We LOVE this resort! It was so much fun on Labor Day weekend. The staff was friendly and very responsive. The community was great. The pool was still warm enough. The park was also amazing! My kids loved every minute and cried when we left. The short walk to the lake from our property (by the office) was perfect. We did find a few spiders in the guest house which is not their fault and may have been the time of year. I didn’t realize we booked the guesthouse when I booked but it was great for a short stay with good weather for a family of 4! Not much room to kick back and relax.
