My wife and I went to the Lake for swimming and fishing. Although the room was not brand new it had everything we wanted. A big Jacuaai Tub / Large fridge / nice shower/ big TV and a comfortable bed. The fishing aand swimming were a walk away. The manager Rene was very helpful/ We will stay there again.

Close to fishing at the spillway. I caught a Muskie a few steps away from our room #32, under the bridge on the Southeast side of the bridge using a floating Rapala. Bought minnows from the motel and caught a Drum on a minnow. The motel put on a great fireworks show on the fourth and we could also see the fireworks show that was on the other side of the spillway on the lake.

The room loomed nice. We paid extra to have a spa bath. Unfortunately the batb was full of dirt and alot of hair that qd had to clean out and pull from the jets, it qas super gross. The toiletries were half full and had hair stuck to the, the shower was just as bad as the spa bath. Over all i think if your wanting a really nice get away, i would choose somewhere else for the amount we we were charged.
