Great place, great food, great atmosphere, great service. Audrey was the best, friendliest server I've had in a long time. Can't wait to go back. read more

DO NOT STAY HERE!! The place has bed bugs and if you check under the fitted sheet you might just find your own guest sleeping there. The management is awful and can't keep control of their employees, the beach is disgusting and only looks good because they flip the sand. The housekeeps seem to do a poor job at cleaning and you seriously have to pay for a continental breakfast whereas most places it's free. It also smells weird. So please, PLEASE don't waste your hard earned money here! Go ANYWHERE ELSE! read more

Came here for 2 year anniversary. Loved the view and being on the lake. 1st night ate at Wind Jammers food was okay and service was good. 2nd night we sat for 15 minutes before asking the guy cleaning tables if we could get some menus. Our server Theresa finally came to take our order 30 minutes into our wait. She had walked by us several times seeing we had no menus. She was cleaning tables instead. Food was really good this night, service was horrible! Hotel could have been cleaner. Cricket in the room. No free breakfast. It cost $7.95 for breakfast which was the same as regular hotel breakfasts. Ice bucket in the room but no ice machine. Pool was beautiful aside from the green stuff on the rocks. Horrible tv quality, no channel guide. Front desk young girl Sara was the sweetest employee we came into contact with. Stayed September 2013 read more

Generally speaking, the room was clean as well as the rest of the hotel however the interior of this hotel reminds me of The Shining. It is definitely haunted. The room was stuffy and outdated. The bathroom was dark and there was no exhaust fan, no matter what they put on the placard. We ate at the hotel restaurant one evening and service was painfully slow. read more

Well I will start by saying the lake is beautiful, and the beach is very nice. But we got an inside room and it smelled , we stayed 3 days and 2 of the 3 days it had this musky odor, the staff was very helpful and tried to make it better as much as they could. There really isnt much at all for kids to do except go to the beach and go to the pool, thats it, would be better if they had a playground for kids. The breakfast buffet is NOT worth the price, I should have drove to mcdonalds and would have got a way better breakfast for way less than I spent. Other than that I do like it there, but its better for just adults. read more

We spent Memorial Dayl weekend at Fourwinds! Exactly what the doctor ordered. We had a lakeside room with a balcony! We were able to get a deck of cards from the front desk and sat outside and played cards until it was dark. We ate in the restaurant both nights. One night service was amazing, the second night it was okay. The food was great. Carry out service was fast. The pool was fantastic and had a great summer feel to it. Best of all, my husband left his wedding ring on the night stand. They were able to locate it and sent it Fedex. We had it back by midweek! We will def be putting this high on our get away weekend locations! Would love to come back and rent a boat for the day! Lastly, shout out to Connor at the front desk for his great service at checkin and checkout and every question between! read more

My family and I went to Four winds resort for my birthday and let me tell you it was not great. First off when we went inside the room there was dirt and snacks in between the beds on the floor. The beach is nice but rocks and cigarettes in a lot of places. The cleaning man is lazy and is not thorough and we had to complain 3 times to the manager and after 2 cleanings the dirt was still there and we left notes saying where it was and still the dirt was there. It wasn't until the manager came in to clean himself and finally it was picked up. A couple of bugs here and there ranging from spiders to a small type of waterbug. Beds are nice and clean also the shower is clean. We saw no mold so that was good. Other than the dirt we had a good time. read more

The Fourwinds Resort and Marina is a super spot to spend the weekend. It's quiet, relaxing and peaceful. I stayed on a friends' parents houseboat and we had a blast. read more

Fourwinds Lakeside & Marina - Gorgeous morning at the lake... - Resorts Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

On a whim, we drove to Fourwinds (we live in Bloomington) about 3 weeks before Valentines weekend to check it out and see if we should "invest" in the Valentines package. I had been here years before - but only to rent boats from the Marina. I believe the hotel portion was closed during those visits. We were certainly surprised when the young man at the front desk not only took our reservation, but also offered to let us see the selection of room types as well as ask us what floor (top, 3rd) and view (lake view, of course) we preferred. When you enter, you find a welcoming lobby with comfy leather furniture, fireplace and a great view of the lake and marina. It reminded me of a nice state park lodge with the dark wood and the wooden beams accenting the high ceilings. So, based upon our inspection of the amenities and the rooms on our initial visit we decided to splurge on the Valentine's special, which was overnight accommodations and a breakfast buffet the next morning. Upon arrival Valentine's evening, the two young ladies working the front desk were cheerful and helpful - - good start! The walk to the rooms takes you down a corridor with dark wood room doors, and an almost a hip "retro" vibe (check out the hall carpet). Our room was as requested - top floor (3rd) and lakeview. The lakeview rooms each have a balcony with a table, 2 chairs and are semi-private with a privacy screen between you and the next door neighbors. The king size room offers a microwave, small refrigerator & private safe. My favorite parts of the room - river rock accent wall, the dark wood crown moulding, and of course the balcony overlooking the lake. Not to mention lots of water pressure! The best surprise of our stay was the Trade Winds restaurant. Our waitress, while obviously busy, was attentive. Kudos to the kitchen as well. Our waitress shared with us that during their first hour of Valentines dinner service they served as many dinners as they had in total since the Trade Winds opened in late September 2013... Even with that challenge, the kitchen was still getting food out hot and in a timely manner. Onto the food... Yum, Round 1 - a complimentary bread basket of rosemary infused rolls and grain & sun-dried tomato rolls. Yum, Round 2 - our appetizer choice was fried green tomatoes on a bed of greens with tomato/basil bruschetta and an avocado "whip" to dress the tomatoes. Off to a great start! OK, Round 3 - salads. I had the house (mixed greens + dressing). Eric had the caesar. Not anything special other than the 2 slices of homemade pickle on my house salad... so maybe 1/3 of a Yum on the salads. YUM *4!, Round 4 - Dinner was entree + choice of 2 sides. I chose the scallops with a bacon butter sauce + the cheesy asparagus risotto + mixed vegetables (broccoli, mushrooms, yellow squash). Eric chose the filet + the cheesy asparagus risotto + garlic smashed potatoes. The scallops were cooked perfect and the bacon butter sauce was not overwhelming, but a lovely addition. Eric mentioned his filet was as nice as what you would be served at St. Elmos... now that is a compliment! Round 5 - we could not even fathom ordering dessert. We could not even finish our entrees! Total price for all of this food + a Bell's Two Hearted & a decent glass of wine was $77 + tip. We could have easily spent this much or more at a decent restaurant in downtown Bloomington and not received the great service, nor the quality of food, nor the amount of food. Good luck to Fourwinds & Trade Winds and thank you for a fantastic Valentines! read more

Loved this place! We had the best time. Our room was clean and spacious, the beach, pool and marina are also very clean. We opted to rent a boat and tube and I think it was the best thing we did! The staff are friendly and accommodating, always asking if we are having fun. They have a good thing going! Keep up the great work read more

See all

I will start by saying if you are transient, and just really want to stay close to the lake with beautiful views, then consider this place. OTHERWISE, I have been coming here for 15+ years. It has deteriorated over the years and as far as Hotel Property goes, I will rate it as a 2 star hotel, comparable to most run of the mill hotels. The hospitality is sub-par and the management staff could use some refreshments on what customer service means. There are employees here that really take pride in their work and always friendly, and I have had good encounters with some people. I have had a slip on G dock for a few years, and my parents had a slip for several years on J dock. The marina, boating operations, and maintenance shop are all great. I do not, nor will I recommend staying in the hotel. read more

Ate dinner at the Windjammer Grill shortly after we arrived for our stay at Fourwinds because we didn't want to drive back into town...we should've driven back into town. They took forever to seat us (supposedly they thought we were with a large group that was waiting at the same time we were...they didn't think to come over & ask if we were or not?), I'm unsure if the A/C was working because it was really warm & stuffy, & the prices are high for the quality of food. I had a grilled chicken salad that was unimpressive & it was served with dipping packages of room-temperature ranch...they didn't even attempt to disguise that it wasn't housemade! As for breakfast, we chose to go out for donuts bc they don't offer complimentary breakfast &, after the mediocre, overpriced food the evening before, we didn't even bother trying breakfast at Tradewinds. We really liked the Fourwinds & will likely stay there again in the future, but we won't bother eating on-site. The resort itself is very nice...we especially loved the private beach for resort guests...we only encountered a few issues: the ice machine on our floor wasn't working the 1st 2 nights of our 3-night stay, the keycard access for the entrance closest to our room was busted so anyone could walk in, & the keycard access closest to the beach didn't work, so we had to go all the way around to the front of the building to get back in....sounds like maintenance needs to step up their game a bit. read more

very old motel called a "resort". dark and dingy but it is kind of clean, i think. the bar and restaurant was ok. another couple said the breakfast buffet made them sick, literally threw-up. this biggest irony, no boat trailer parking! yeah, it kind of sucks, but its the only hotel on the lake. read more

We rented a pontoon and ate lunch there on July 4th. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. We went up to the resort and to the grill. Restaurant for lunch to take a break from tubing and skiing. We wanted to sit outside but they said we would have to do a TO GO order to eat out on the patio. Fine, we ordered as a party of 10. I asked the waitress is if I tipped her sufficiently if she would bring out food outside and she said YES. So I tipped $30 on a $100 order. When our order was ready an asst mgr tapped on the windows and told us we had to come get our food. I told him I tipped sufficie tly a d the waitress has same d she would bring it out. He said the manager told her not to and told us to take our food and have a nice day. No refills offered, food missing in the order and they took the tip and disappeared. We had to serve ourselves and pay them for the privilege to sure their patio I guess. WHAT A SERVICE DISASTER. NO WONDER THIS PLACE STRUGGLES. To he boat rental was fine but they cut corners everywhere. We will not be back. Brookville Lake rentals are nicer and newer, larger motors, better service, restrooms at the pumps and the list goes on of better customer care. Four Winds struggles on their biggest day to just be nice. Sad because there is so much potential there. Management did not return phone calls either. read more

Awesome marina, but I just love water. Looks good from the outside. Inside the 2 rooms I saw were old and everything showed its wear and tear. First room smelled overwhelming of ammonia. In second room you could not get enough hot water to use the shower - it has a third valve to operate the shower, but you could not turn it so that all the hot water would stop coming out the tub faucet, but the cold water would flow out the shower!. I expected more for $119 a night. read more

Awful, just awful. Took 25 minutes to get a Bloody Mary..food, I'm not even going to comment on. The product was fine, but the service was embarrassing. Honestly I don't know how this place stays in business. Dan Dakich's absolutely obnoxious radio commercials must be single handedly supporting this place because the restaurant is pathetic. Even Lake Lemon's port hole Inn will serve you a beverage and food within 60 minutes. Fourwinds will not. Our waitress actually made the comment to our table "you know I handle your food", when a friend commented on the slow service in an admittedly slightly rude manner. Avoid, avoid,avoid, at all costs. read more

Tony and his staff (mike) has saved us and our boat so many times. Even though I don't yet know much about ourv1968 river cruiser - he never makes me feel foolish when I ask foolish questions. I love these guys and am happy to give them 5 stars.. thanks Tony! S read more

We had reservations and arrived an hour + after check in time. There was a line of people waiting & disgruntled people milling around the lobby, as their rooms were not ready. We got our room keys right away but when we unlocked the room, other people's things were already in the room! They were booked or overbooked and clearly unprepared to accommodate a full house. There were housekeeping staff scattered throughout the hallways, in rooms cleaning, etc and this was well after 5pm. We asked for our money back and left- we had the sense that it wasn't going to be a good situation even if they found us an unoccupied room. Also the beach was closed due to high water. Pool was very small. Might be a nice place if managed better and more efficiently. Very disappointing for our kids who were looking forward to a few days at the lake. read more

Don't bother trying to use the wi-fi, it's slower than dialup, and open as well. Hotel isn't to bad for a crappy old school park hotel. Lot's of old people. Get a room that faces the lake, otherwise don't stay here. Also DO NOT eat the the restaurant it's complete garbage, complete mismanagement and the servers are the worst. The food is off the charts bad, so bad they mess up breakfast, seriously how do you mess up breakfast read more

Definitely not recommended. Horrible quality of staff at the front desk. I made my reservation few weeks in advance and after I showed up, they were going around talking to all their supervisors as they didn't have the rooms for which they accepted reservations online. Quality of Room Inspection: They say that the room was thoroughly inspected but when I see the restroom, there were no toilet papers nor tissues of any sort! Pathetic Wifi - Can't find anything that's worse than this. Have used airport wifi several times at several locations. Never seen anything that's as bad as this. The only good thing about this stay was the view of the room. They just don't have the right quality of staff to cater the needs of the visitors. Definitely not recommended. read more

We chose to stay at Fourwinds because we bought a Groupon that allowed us to stay there at a significant discount. The resort is undergoing a series of renovations, plus it's off-season, so I'm guessing the discounts were to just get guests there while they move forward toward summer. Here's the rundown: Our suite was spacious and thought out well. The rooms were all renovated in the past year, so it was still shiny and new. The kitchenette included sink, microwave, dishwasher, oven, and refrigerator, plus dishes and flatware to use during our stay. The bar style counter and high-seated chairs made for a nice little breakfast nook. Next to the kitchenette lies a lounge area with TV, couch, chair, coffee table, lamps, and plenty of room. This area was basic but comfortable with a classy look that includes lots of wooden surfaces and textures. The faux fireplace didn't work at first glance, but we didn't really mess with it much or ask about it, so it may well have worked if we knew what to do. Past the living area is a deck with some chairs and a table, perfect for a relaxing breakfast, evening dining, etc. , with a beautiful lakeside view. The other half of the suite is a bedroom and large bathroom. Sliding doors come out of the wall to separate the two halves of the suite, if needed. Another chair sits by the bed, plus another TV and dresser, plus a pretty decent closet all round it out. The roomy bathroom includes two sinks and a large bathtub/shower with nice marble-style floors, plus the standard toilet tucked away in a corner -- again, well-thought. The suite as a whole seems like it would be a pretty decent deal for the standard cost. A family could easily stay there and use an air mattress or two, the couch, perhaps a cot or rollaway beds, and with the kitchenette might save some $$ on meals. The pool has a nice faux-rock surrounding with plenty of deck chairs. An enclosure keeps the area warm enough in chilly weather but can be removed for warmer times, and it looks out over the lake. The restaurant was under renovation while we were there, so we didn't see it. The dining opportunities were available in the lounge/bar. The breakfast seems pretty decent and included some hot foods (eggs, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, bacon) along with pretty standard continental choices and a waffle-maker. We didn't stop by for any other meals since part of our reason for choosing the location was to sample the many great restaurants in Bloomington. We did receive some dining vouchers, so we used them a little for breakfast and mostly at the bar (for hard cider to take home with us more than anything else). The bar hours were erratic. The first night we wanted to visit it just to check it out, but they had closed around 9, we were told, and we were informed that they do that if it isn't busy. The next night, they had a bunch of conference attendees around, so they were open until well after 9, which is when we visited. The person behind the bar (not an actual bartender) didn't know how to make a Manhattan, so that tells you the type of bar it is -- mostly just playing on the resort theme with basic (watered-down, we noticed) drinks. The next night, the bar was closed before even 8, and we couldn't have ordered food at that point, either. Our guess is that they were just winging the whole situation because of the off-season, but a sign on the bar explaining the situation would have been really nice and thoughtful toward guests who may have decided to not spend every waking moment at the hotel. I'm sure they'll have more standard hours and such by the summertime. The location itself -- inside a state park, lakes on two sides, absolutely gorgeous with deer all over the place. Bloomington -- with amazing restaurants, plenty of arts and culture, and of course the university -- sits only about a 20-25 minute drive away. We found the location quite perfect for us. Overall, my wife and I enjoyed visiting a place that was pretty good and seems well on the way to getting better. We're already hoping to visit again some summer. read more

My husband and I went for the groupon special, rushed out from Indy after work on a Friday and arrived by 7 PM, only to be told that our room was not ready!!! We were shocked, along with 5-10 other parties waiting for their rooms. If we had been given notice a little earlier (a courteous phone call) we could easily have made dinner arrangements, but at this point, we were tired of driving and wanted to settle into our room. After waiting for over an hour, we finally got our room and were compensated (after some grumbling) with a free breakfast the next day. If you're going to stimulate business with a groupon, be prepared to clean the rooms in a timely manner! Not impressed. The accommodations were adequate, pretty average for a standard hotel, with a noisy humming mini fridge and heater system. One of the two restaurants was under construction, so we went to the available restaurant to use our groupon dining credit. The pizza was tasty but the crust was a little underdone for my liking. The next day, we arrived at the breakfast buffet at 9:30 AM (it reportedly closed at 10 AM, which in my opinion is too early) only to discover that they were out of waffle mix. We sat down and had to wait for 20 minutes before I addressed the overworked server to ask for something to drink with my breakfast. The least they could do was put out some orange juice or water with glasses! When she came out with 2 glasses of orange juice, I was again shocked. It tasted like watered down concentrate! For the price of the groupon, I can't complain too much, but I don't think this place merits the title "resort" by any means. read more

I've been going to the Fourwinds since I was a child. A beautiful location with so many opportunities to be the best place in town. I was pretty excited to visit last night after being absent for awhile. First, my cheeseburger was delivered on a hoagie bun. Who does that right? A perfectly good burger ruined by a huge bun with a different shape. Next, the band is way back in some conference room set up on the floor. Who wants to keep walking back to the bar to get a drink? We stayed about 1 hour before we had had enough. I felt sorry for the band. Hopefully, this venue can once again rise to the glory of yesteryear but for now, please get a real bun for the cheeseburger. read more

Simply a terrible operation top to bottom. The slip fees essentially fund the entire facility along with food, beverage and hotel revenue. Anyone can quickly see that this property is dated, needs new management and has not had any significant capital investment in decades. Ironically they leased the property through the federal government (Army Corps of Engineers) for 100 years starting in 1965. They got a sweat heart deal. They're also receiving state funding for being in an State Recreation Area along with all the private funding from customers. It's a triple dip! Yet they still manage to make it the least hospitable or enjoyable experience at the marina and hotel. Don't even get me started on their Marine Service Dept. I kept a slip sometimes (multiple slips) at the marina for 18 years. You get treated like garbage. And by the way, their slip lease basically says that they are not responsible for ANYTHING ever. Worse yet nobody is authorized to make local management decisions. They all come from one man and he is located in Georgia. When I have called with issues I was told by their top brass in Georgia that "they don't have to try and don't have to care with this property because where else are boaters in Indiana going to go? Let them travel to Patoka or Geist Resevoir." True story. Not even one star rating. Avoid at all costs! read more

Rent from anywhere else! Rented a boat from here and had an issue on the water. Called them and was told on the phone someone was coming, waited 40 minutes and no one came. Called back, person on phone said just bring the boat back. When we arrived back the dock person said that there wouldnt be any charge for issue because of the fact that no one came. Manager disputed everything I said like I made it up and was charged a replacement fee. Will never rent here again! read more

Thought we would try this place out while visiting our son at IU. When we got to our room, it was not very clean. There was a gum wrapper on one of the chairs, when we went to open the pull out sofa there was popcorn on top of the sheet on the mattress and popcorn all over the floor under the bed. The slider doors to the balcony were unlocked, which seemed unsafe. The toilet paper holder fell off the wall in the bathroom. The throw pillows from the couch had a huge hole in one with the stuffing falling out and the other was frayed and almost ripped. When we pulled out the extra bedding for the sofa bed, the blanket was full of holes. I took the blanket to the front desk and they really didn't seem surprised. They switched us to a new room and offered to bring up extra bedding for the sofa bed. I had to move all our luggage to the new room. The new room was definitely cleaner than the old room, but still not cleaned to my standards. The pull out sofa had popcorn, a straw and other debris under the mattress. The tv in the bedroom had horrible service, the sound cut in and out so it was basically unwatchable. The bed was very uncomfortable, when my husband first sat on it the other side of the bed ballooned up. The view of the lake was pretty, but other than that, this hotel was horrible. When we checked out we did let them know how bad our stay was and they are supposed to give us 20% off our stay. Even that didn't make up for how bad this hotel is. Skip it and stay somewhere else. Unless you like filthy hotels. read more

As a local, we try to get down to Fourwinds as much as possible to simply enjoy the view, visit the beach, or grab a bite to eat. We recently rented a boat with friends and were very impressed with the cleanliness of the boat, the staff and the ease of the booking process. The restaurants offer a nice variety, the breakfast buffet is a reasonable price point and the summer live music offers a nice date night out. It is a great spot for the whole family! read more

Awesome, always helpful and always have a boat ready to go. I have been here twice in 2018, and both times everyone has been helpful and attentive to my needs. Our first visit included learning the basics of driving a boat. Awesome , the second time was just as great and we even learned a few new tips. There are a couple of places to rent boats, but from my experience with this place, it's the only one I'll use. read more

We have been coming here for 15 years and overall our stays have been wonderful. Occasionally little things are not right but the management always strive to correct the problem and you can tell they truly want to please you. They have continually updated the property over the years. The location and the view are incredible and the value is hard to beat. We've rented boats with our kids and the marina is state of the art. We will definitely continue to go back regularly! read more

No ice machine on 1st floor, broken ice machine on 2nd floor. Only 1 working ice machine on the whole property and it's on the 3rd floor. Who made that decision?? Have that person walk to the 3rd floor to fill ice buckets for the entire weekend. You will not go broke handing out ice. Wash the box spring covers and blankets on every bed in the hotel---#121 DID NOT pass the BLUE LIGHT or visual test...yuck! Breakfast was okay...but we went out of the Park for dinner (Fairfax Inn has wonderful food, drinks and personnel). And get somebody to empty the trash at least once each day, yes including the parking lot. People with Four Winds shirts are running around all over the property, mostly talking on their cell phones and it does not seem they are ever working. I realize these are probably untrained personnel but how about the managers walk the property instead of sitting in the A/C. And could the waitress leave a pot of coffee on the table at breakfast so we don't have to chase them down for refills. We are used to better treatment and nicer amenities for $165/night. Tuccom read more

2015 hasn't been a good year for courtesy and/or respect at Four winds for the guests... We've been fans FOR YEARS, but no more ! From the effed-up snide reception (room not ready) to the departure several days later, we've said "never again" ! read more

Stayed here last weekend and I must say, this defiantly tops one of my favorite hotels, they have restaurants inside the hotel. This Hotel is known for their Bloody Mary so if that is your thing you should try one. During the Bloomington Craft Beer Festival they shuttle you to and from the event. Rooms are very nice beds are very comfy. read more

This place is really amazing. It's a beautiful property, great view of the lake. Walking distance from a private beach and a small put put area for the kids. Boat and jet ski rentals in walking distance too. It's far enough from the city but close enough to run to for anything you might need. The rooms are spacious and beds were good, not great. There's a pool that's half shaded and half in the sun. A small gym. A restaurant that's really good and a bar. Like I said it's a beautiful property. There were a few issues which is why I did not give them 5 stars. The first is a pretty big security issue. The room doors don't always close which means if you're not playing close enough attention it could be open for anyone to come in. I mean you might think you closed it but it didn't. This worried us since we traveled with a pricy drone and kids. Just make sure when you come and go to double check that it's completely closed. The second issue we had was we never had room service the 3 days we stayed. I had to call to have towels delivered so we could shower. I just don't know if they have enough staff to help or what but I've never had this issue at any other hotel we've stayed at. Other than those two issues, which wouldn't keep me from coming back, I would recommend this place. read more

See all

Initially, we were extremely pleased with our stay here. Then, it turned very quickly. The ice machines (there are only 3 in the entire resort) never had ice in them. The air conditioning in our room did not cool very well. When we went to turn in our ticket to get reimbursed for parking (because you have to enter the State Park to get to the resort) they told us we needed to turn it in the first day and there was nothing they could do about it. So we did not get reimbursed for our parking. There are buckets throughout the resort collecting the water that is dripping from the ceiling. Although they off free WiFi, there is no reason to try to use it ad it does not get any signal. The staff did not try to resolve these problems at all. read more

Restaurant Review: We eat here often enough to know that sometimes the service is pretty good, and sometimes it's downright awful. More recently though, the food has been great- that's what really matters right? Most recently, upon walking in and seeing folks we knew, right off the bat they told us it was an extremely slow night. We grumbled a bit and the 4 of us and sat down anyway. After waiting for water/pops for 15-20 minutes, we had to say something. To make a long story short, Harry stepped in and saved the day for us and took our table over. Because of him, we didn't walk out after sitting for 15 minutes w/o menus and go over to Eagle Pointe like our other 6 friends did who came in shortly after us did. The food was great; but looking around we noticed many other tables that sat and sat and sat without attention. I have extensive experience in this business. Harry was their shining star that night. Hopefully with better customer service training they'll ALL be ready for the high season once the boaters start coming out. read more

rented a party barge for the family to finally get together and take pause with life. the folks seemed to be polite and make sure we had everything. Seemed a triffle expensive to rent. Chalked it up to our"bucket list" plan,. read more

Not worth the money. Managed Poorly. It's such a shame.... there is so much potential here... hoping someone can turn this place around.

This is my first time EVER writing a review for anything, but I feel compelled in hopes of informing customers and possible inspiring a change for the restaurant! We had a family reunion here. We had 5 rooms, 12 people total. We loved the grounds, lake, pool and the rooms were great! BUT, the restaurant is really bad. It is the service! Our family hasn't seen each other in years and we wanted to sit and eat together at one table. The first night we got there at 8 pm ( they close at 9pm), we had to move tables and chairs ourselves. Then, it took 10 min before waitress came to our table to get drink orders, they were out of an ingredient for a drink my sister wanted from bar, so she changed her order, no big deal.. It took another 25 min to receive our drinks, we then placed food orders. I know it was 12 people and one waitress, but by the time she took orders we were ready for another drink. But we didnt dare order because we knee it would b a struggle. There were other waitresses nearby just stocking tables, and maybe only 4 other customers in there at the time. Our food came about 9-915. My cheese fries were burnt to a crisp, the waitress offered to take them back, i didnt want to wait again and initially said no, but my family said send it back, it was inedible. She said no problem, but she came back and said "the kitchen said no, they turned off frier", she did take it off my bill, By 9:25, they were now hurrying us out Because they were closing!! Ugghh! This was our first night there, we could have made them soo much money, we would have all drank many drinks there.. We just wanted to sit and socialize and eat and drink the whole weekend. We went back the following day and they wouldnt sit us together, and service was just as bad! I spoke to manager, Harry, he just brought out a copy of reciept and said it had only been 20 min since "the order was put in", actually it was 50 min that we waited for our food before I complained! He obviously didnt care, no one is in a hurry to do anything,! He said it was a "big party", excuses, excuses! Our weekend would have been perfect if they had better service! It also took 3 trips to front desk for pillows that night! They told us they were out of pillows, but front desk clerk finally went to another room and got some for us! If you go, it might be worth taking your own food and drinks to avoid this frustration! read more

My family and I stayed here this summer for a few days and had a wonderful time. The rooms were O.K., but renovations are going on. The pool is very nice with a sliding roof during rain or high winds. The food is average and the staff, though on the younger side, were all very helpful and courteous. While they advertise a beach, I really wouldn't call it one. Overall, we plan on coming back and enjoying the resort and the lake again. read more

This was our first time visiting and the last. Check-in was okay, desk help was friendly, but very busy. Had a trunk full of carry in supplies plus luggage. No carts to be found. We didn't wait and carried everything by hand. As a person using a cane it was a whole lot of fun. Thank goodness my daughter was with us to help. Husband is also on a cane. Room was minimal clean. Dirty bathroom. Soap scum in soap dish. Toilet seat was loose. The shower had no handles to grab ahold of. Hard on anyone who has mobility issues.Went to get ice for our drinks, no ice on second floor/ third floor. Had to go to the bar to get ice. Bed cover on one of the beds had a stain. Yuck! Pillows were awful and bed springs squeaked when you got off the bed. Advertised as comfortable. I think not! TV was hard to find channels and not a lot of programming. Air conditioner was good and the patio was okay. Not very private. Couldn't enjoy the pool. Way too crowded. A lot of children, but I know that a pool is important when you have younguns. By eight in the morning, everybody was putting down towels on lounge chairs to mark their spot. I didn't know they were "reserved." Now, the view was very pretty. The staff very helpful and friendly. We ordered catfish dinners and a large nachos. $13ish for the catfish, $11ish for nachos. Fish was hot and good. Flabby fries. Nachos cold and cheese had hardened. Cost, $53.50 total. Second night, ordered pizza. It was good, but a bit stingy on chicken ranch pizza. Nice and hot tho. $19 for the pizza, so.....just the convenience of it. If you don't care about all the down sides, by all means go for it, but for us, the experience sucked. Won't be back. Spend my $360 two day stay room elsewhere. read more
