Loved our unit on Mission Creek with patio and lake just a few feet from patio. The room and bathroom is spacious. We had 2 queen beds that were very comfortable. Bathroom facilities were very comfortable. It would be very nice to have microwaves in the rooms. We had leftovers from the restaurant on the resort and it would have been nice to reheat rather than throw out. Rented a pontoon for the day. It was a very comfortable pontoon.
This was our view from sitting on our patio.. Very pleasant..❤️

The building we stayed in was a bit outdated but to be expected. It did give off the “Dirty Dancing” resort vibes tho! Everyone was very nice! The weather was beautiful except the tornado that was north of us by 3 miles. We did take shelter in the conference area so that was a bonus. Overall it was a great time for our first time!
