There is a large pavilion with attached bathrooms and electricity, and there is another smaller pavilion there as well. There's also a nice trail around a cute pond and a steam that runs beyond it, and you are permitted to fish there. It's a great place to visit to ply and hang out, and is also able to be reserved for parties or events.

That said, I'll probably only visit during the off season (early spring or after Labor Day by a bit). I came here once with my dog and they're apparently very specific about dogs ONLY being in a little beach area. I wasn't letting him in the water anywhere else (I definitely want to be respectful of the main beach area and any swimmers), and he's always on leash when we visit, but I was followed around (from one end of the park to the other) by a member of the park staff during that previous visit with him They could never tell me what I was doing that they didn't like, but they kept trying to usher me out of wherever I was. Very weird and uncomfortable.

Matt and his team are amazing. Food was delicious and plentiful - many offerings to cover all dietary wants/needs. Staff are all friendly, accommodating, and personable - restaurant, housekeeping, and fly shop. Robbie was my guide for float trip. He is awesome "fish finder" - very patient and lots of laughs.

If you are expecting a five star hotel, then no this is geared for the fisherman/woman who wants a clean environment for a few days without the cost of a five star hotel.

The only drawback I found is access to nearby restaurants, because this location is rather rural we expected this and prepared accordingly.

Big ol' Greg immediately busted out the hard stuff, and right when I was wanting some ice cream they made it right in front of me! I could go on for a long time, but I'll just list the Pros and the (very few!) cons below. Pros: Best All-Inclusive dining I've had. The ice cream and liquor never stopped! They make other foods too, and if they can't make it they'll go get it. Lots of blankies. You'll never get cold. If you do get cold, don't call you friend Matt and ask for the concierge while he's sleeping. He'll hang up! Very welcoming. Many people aren't used to very lifelike stuffed doggies and contact an insane asylum. Not here though! Beautiful scenery. After a great day of going to see the city of Corning or the lake near Watkins Glen (both are close! You just have to steal a car or truck. My credit score isn't very good. Oh no) there's nothing better than sitting down on the porch or comfy sectional sofa in the great lodge room to watch the sun set. Cons: Hard to find. Like very hard to find. If Matt wasn't a totally righteous frontiersman with a tomahawk we would have gotten lost and starved (ok Matt isn't that cool. I'm just hoping he'll read this and buy me ice cream) Dangerous Wildlife. The deers kept staring at me through the window. I bet they're in cahoots with the angry woolly mammoth that's been after me. Departure time. The fact that there was a departure really upsets me.
