Property is pet friendly, staff were great they respond in a timely manner, we were so anxious for our cabin because of the previous reviews that it was smelly, but when we got there it was perfect, no smells at all. Great views of the lake in front, moorehaven cabin has sunroom with screen perfect for summer safe from mosqhito bites! Highly recommended.

Liked the lake side setting with a beach area suitable for activities of watching the sun set.
Had a good selection of watercraft available for guest use.
The barbecue on the deck was a real plus giving a lot of flexibility in menu selection.

Staff were excellent and quick to respond with questions . Very clean rooms. Beautiful view and plenty of water toys.
Didn’t like the unit heater as it was quite loud. The room was very clean but the strong smell of pinesol dominated the first day. It gradually diminished .
If you are looking for a campsite athmosphere, and historic cabins, meaning old, badly maintained and small cabins (we stayed in Tumble Inn), then this is the place to stay.
The surroundings are beautiful, the lake water is clear and brown (due to the woods) and hiking trails are easy to reach.
Positive: after initial complaint, the friendly staff spent two hours to clean the cabin and the windows, which improved our stay a lot.

Please do not come to this resort!! Expedia should never have posted this on there website as this resort is definitely not up to health and safety conditions. They tried to mask problems making it look pretty but so many issues with this place. Do not book this place!!!
