The previous negative reviews are accurate. The owner likes to yell and scream at you (age has no bounds, young or old, with the frequent use of the "F" word). Not appreciated. They have ZERO renter etiquette. They mow the lawn frequently and it doesn't matter if during meals outside or when you are trying to converse with someone. Every other place does this in-between renters so as to not disturb vacationers. This I think is the worst atrocity - they walk right by your windows and look in!!!! I was in my bedroom and they were right in front of my window!!!! I watched them look in windows as they walked very close to cabins (it is a big area, absolutely no reason to be close to cabins). Someone in another review had said they just want your money and be able to use the space for themselves. True. They were constantly in the renter beach area. There are cement blocks in the water for kids to get hurt on. There were mice and bugs in the cabins. Showered with shoes on because so gross. Not clean. I could go on.... I never write bad reviews and usually let things go but I felt I needed to in this case because of so many many many offenses and it really put a damper on our vacation.

Perfect little get away. Who ever posted and complained.. Shame on you. The host are wonderful. Each cabin has flower beds surrounding the cabins. The cabin we stayed in was well maintained. 70's decor a lil bit. Who cares lol. We were right on the lake. With usage to their boats as long as we brought a boat motor. They also let you use their life jackets if needed. Absolutely adorable cabins. We will be returning again this summer for sure. ❤

Stayed in cabin 6 for a week. Floor is not level so I felt like I was drunk wobbling around the cabin. Worst thing we can say is it was very dirty. Spent over a day cleaning it. Lots of hot water, bleach, soft scrub, etc. Afternoon sun boils the place. Can't do anything about that. Nice owners but if you stay here do what we did - plan to clean it, bring all your own bedding, towels, pillows, and coffee pot/toaster and rugs. No modernization in decades.

I just stayed here for a weekend. The cottage was cozy. The scenery was beautiful. They had the wood stove fired up when we got there, so it was warm and welcoming. This resort is right in the middle of several wineries. And it was priced cheaper than anything around. We will be back for sure. Highly recommended! Update: just stayed here again this weekend. While we were out on the dock late at night, listening to the waves, watching the moonlight bounce on the water, and sharing some good conversation...unaware that anyone could even hear us out there- we were not being rowdy at all! The owner came out, and where he should have politely asked us to go inside for quiet time...he immediately started yelling, swearing, calling us rude and loud. He was completely out of line. He humiliated me in front of my daughter. I will never be back to this place again! Would have been a customer for life, now my money will be spent elsewhere.

Out of the many complaints for this "resort", the owners will find every excuse to yell at you and apparently also your children. The owner's son yelled at my 11 year-old severely autistic son, instead of talking to me (I was right there). Our family has been going there for forty-nine years,the cabins are always dirty, the owners are nosy, looking in your windows, mowing the lawn constantly and skulking around while listening to your conversations. They are VERY strict on no talking at night rule and are not decent enough to show that kind of respect during the day. You must tiptoe around them and their family. They are a cozy facade, but they really are NOT nice people and we should know. No longer will we stand up for their indescencies. They must not want anyone but their family there so they should just do that, instead of making people miserable for being there.

This place was disappointing. When we got here it looked like something from the 70s. These cabins haven't been updated in years. As far as cleaning goes it didn't look like it had ever happened. We had to purchase bleach and clean the place ourselves. Disgusting. Will never go back and never recommend.

We plan to stay here every year forever, or until it closes. It's the last of the old fashioned resorts, not the most up-to-date, but comfortable, natural, and friendly. We love the family. We love the area.
