Our stay at the Lakehouse Resort and Spa was mostly delightful. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special for our anniversary, complete with thoughtful touches like champagne and s’mores kits. While the amenities were impressive and the dining experience was fantastic, we did face some issues with ants in our room, which dampened our overall enjoyment. Despite this, the outdoor activities and the welcoming atmosphere made it a memorable getaway.

The hotel boasts beautiful lakeside views and a variety of fun activities, which make for a relaxing getaway. However, there were significant issues with room cleanliness and the pool area that detracted from the overall experience. Dining at the on-site Decoy restaurant was a definite highlight, providing delicious meals. While the service had its ups and downs, it felt like they were still finding their groove post-renovation.

This hotel has some really charming aspects, like the lovely lakeside views and enjoyable outdoor activities. The rooms are spacious and the pool area is inviting for both adults and families. However, the dining options are on the pricier side, and I did notice some service inconsistencies at the front desk that could be improved. Overall, it was a nice experience, but there are a few areas that need attention.

The hotel has a lot of potential with a beautiful lakeside view and great amenities like kayaking and paddleboarding. The rooms were comfortable and clean, though check-in was a bit of a hassle due to housekeeping delays. The dining at Decoy is excellent, but breakfast can be pricey if not included. Overall, it’s a great family-friendly option with fun activities.
