The fried chicken is like how grandma used to make it. Oh and the perch...ahhhmazing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The buttery homemade noodles, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, chicken gravy...it was all delicious. What made our visit exceptional was our server, Matt. He told us the history, we chatted about concerts! He was so personal and Dam good at his job. We did not have to wait for anything. We will see you soon!!

It was an interesting meal. The waiter seemed a little lost most of the time…read more He failed to explain that the perch was $44, not $31 like the chicken. So that was a surprise when the bill came. The bartender took our order, but then we had to pick the up from the bar. ??? The best part of the evening besides our friends, we the fried chicken. I would recommend just ordering a plate of checked. The sides were not worth it.

It also had cereal milk, coffee and orange juice. Plenty for a good start to a day of shopping nearby. Such a wonderful area. I'll definitely book this place again.

They make excuses for not giving you a bill/receipt at the time and you find the charges when it goes thru your credit card. When questioned about it later they get rude and obnoxious and hang up. Customer be aware this is not the resort it use to be under the good previous owners.

You can't ask for much more than that from a rest stop on the side of the interstate. There were no vending machines that I could see, but there was a nature trail that you could walk on. I visited during the fall, when all of the leaves were turning beautiful colors, so I bet that walking along that trail would have been lovely. I didn't have time to explore, though. Rest stops are places that you hit and quit, and that's exactly what I did.

Lots of parking (duh!), and room for kids (parents, grandparents, friends) to run some of the road rust of (and stored energy out). We used it as a pit stop for our dog (German Shepherd) and we were able to let him off leash and get a really good run. It wasn't crowded. There are other rest areas about 30 miles away, closer to town and some tourist traps; this is a nice place to unwind before getting into all that.

My family has stayed here several years now simply because of the price and location. However, over the years the place seems more and more run down. The windows look like they have never been cleaned, there are spider webs and cob webs all over, and dead bugs of various breeds litter the windows, cracks, and crevasses of the interior of the cabins. We stay in the "Lodge". For years we have mentioned that there is a mold/mildew issue. Some of us have even gotten sick. They have yet to remediate the problem. Also, the Lodge only has on bathroom. We have requested a key to use the bathroom located on the outside of their store. To which the owner(?) George told me they don't have a key and that everyone in the world would be using the bathroom. However, people renting the cottages and boat slips all have keys as I have seen them using them! George is often gruff and unfriendly and occasionally down right rude. This place could be awesome! The scenery and location are perfect. It is unfortunate that the owners have let it fall to such a level. We are looking for other lodging for future family vacations!
