Lakehouse Resort

Lakehouse Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Honestly, the best place to stay if you're in this area. The whole place is so packed with amenities and things to do, you don't even need to leave the compound. There is everything from water sports to regular country-club-like sports and feel. We had planned to maybe venture out prior to arriving, but when we got there, we realized we had everything we needed right there at our fingertips. Next time, I think we'd like to book a cottage with some friends."
