Glad to return
This is our third visit in the last three months. We are very happy with this location and will be staying one more time next month. If I had to nitpick it would be for whole milk at breakfast

Lovely place
We try to get up to this area yearly to relax and do some fishing.
Loved our room, but the room needed more pictures on the wall or even better, more hooks to hang things up on. Be great to hang damp clothes and bathing suits on a hook. Room had two hooks by ice bucket, but more would be fantastic. There was a huge,blank wall between the ice bucket ledge and tv console.
Seeing how room only had two drawers, hooks would be great.

Family visiting family
I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were very pleasant, friendly, and professional. From my early check- in requested and honored by Coryon to the breakfast every morning with Lacey, i thoroughly felt appreciated! Although i would highly recommend getting some more help in the morning for Lacey; the breakfast area was always packed the 2 mornings that I was enjoying myself and she tried her best to keep up but the poor lady was sweating bullets and there was still a line waiting for restock of items.
