Clean family friendly resort

The hotel was clean and offered fun things such as the smores kit and other amenities. It was a little loud staying on the bottom floor so next time I will ask for a top floor and hopefully that will help.

The Lakehouse Resort was absolutely amazing and stunning. I attended for business purposes however I believe it is best suited for couples trying to reconnect and get away. I plan on coming back very soon!

It's a beautiful place but it needs to upgrade the rooms and accessories in the rooms. Bugs outside my patio and I couldn't enjoy the beauty of the outdoors unless I walked away from my room

Great resort - Limited dining on premises

Great resort that has been updated. Seems like a place that would offer happy hour in the lobby. The breakfast choices at the coffee shop were not good. Mostly heat and serve from Costco. The restaurant is not on the grounds. It was a nice 10 -15 min walk. It looks great but was closed because of a water issue.

This is a nice hotel with some nice amenities. The 24-hour cafe on-site is helpful and the pools were nice. They accommodated our request to stay next to our friends and the room was clean, the view was great, and we enjoyed our stay here overall. I would recommend others stay here. Unfortunately, hotel staff did not pay any attention to our booking and the fact that there were four of us in the room. They did not stock the room with enough towels and they had too few toiletries as well. It's pretty annoying to run out or have to ask for these things when it's obvious from the booking that we'd need more.
