This resort is incredibly out dated and dirty. We were in the cedar lodge and the furniture in the room was falling apart. The toilets weren't working well, it took like 4 flushes to have a few sheets of toilet paper get flushed. It had a musty smell, mis matched curtains, tape stuck to the walls, many stains in the bath, ceiling was cracked and looked to be caving in in some areas. For almost $1000 for 2 nights I expected higher quality, otherwise they need to adjust the prices to line up with what is being provided. I will say the air conditioning worked great in our room and it was cold in our room upon arrival so that was nice. Some of the wait staff were really great, the front desk people were quick to help us check in/out. The food at the restaurant was great. The "continental breakfast" was some yogurt, cereal, toast and muffin options-which was a bit disappointing and nowhere to actually purchase a hot breakfast onsite. The indoor pool was typically not busy at all, but the pool water was very cloudy and gross looking.

We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night as part of a mini-family reunion. We liked the waterfront location, outdoor dining, fishing /boat dock, and overall lodge-like atmosphere. The rooms had been updated in terms of flooring, paint, and walk-in showers. It was nice to have a mini-fridge in the room and a small deck. Views were superb. Decorating was haphazard and poor. Furniture was outdated Bathrooms were not equipped with towel bars. Only two towels were left and we had to request more. Soap was a mere sliver. Walls were thin, and rowdy guests at 1:30 am disturbed our sleep. Food quality was good—especially burgers and pizza! Rooftop bar was enjoyable. Continental breakfast was a line-up of carbs—no fruit or protein. For over $300 per night, I expected more. You pay for the lakefront location.

Everyone from Matt at the front desk, to Karen at The Cove, (the resorts great dining room), were amazing. Beautiful and picturesque, yet comfortable and relaxing too. Nothing like Walleye tacos served out on the outdoor dining area, overlooking the lake. Wonderful stay, we'll be back.

Pool and restaraunt closed at 8 and 9 respectively. Staff weren't very hospitable but were also swamped and understaffed. Continental breakfast was out of food half way through their time frame. I paid a lot of money to not recieve any amenities...
