We chose the center harbor in for its location right on the lake and amenities mentioned. Fitness center, free breakfast. Our biggest disappointment was the Canadian Geese that pooped all over the property but especially the beach! It was disgusting. I did see a crew of people on the property raking the beach and grass areas. The beach chairs are functional but not that many. The water was spectacular but wear water shoes or follow the sand in the water. Otherwise the bottom is slimy! The raft was a nice feature. The “fitness center” is a joke. Please be honest and show 2 treadmills, an elliptical and two exercise balls. (We paid to go to a gym). There is a sauna and hot tub which we did not use. Finally the breakfast doesn’t even open until 8 am! Coffee at 7:30 would’ve been lovely. No great shakes for breakfast. The very basics. However the fresh bagels and muffins were delicious. Its proximity to Meredith is a great plus. Very friendly staff.

Weekend couples trip

Great space, beautiful view. Breakfast was self-service typical eggs-muffin-coffee. Breakfast space was clean and inviting. Enough space to not feel rushed. However, noisy upstairs neighbors with stopping feet slamming deck/ balcony door made ceiling rattle alot. Seemed odd for what appears as a newer constructed building. Dud use beach or water activities as temp was in high 50 degrees.

Beautiful place for a celebration

The room was modern, very clean, and in the most gorgeous setting! The view of the lake from our balcony was breathtaking! It was especially beautiful with the fall colors and perfect weather! Couldn’t have found a better place to celebrate my wife’s birthday!
