I had a mixed experience at the resort. The breathtaking view of the lake was a highlight, and the newly renovated cabin was spacious and comfortable. However, the cleanliness left much to be desired, with dusty fixtures and some maintenance issues. The food was good, but not outstanding, and the noisy wedding events were a distraction. Overall, while there are great aspects, some improvements are definitely needed.
