"We had a late check in and even at 10 PM at night they had warm chocolate chip cookies to greet us, which was super cool we thought. The room had been updated and had a very nice clean shower. The breakfast was a standard hotel breakfast, but the food was hot and everything was well stocked. The staff were very nice and friendly. The hotel was very quiet. It was conveniently located. I would stay again."

Nature Link Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Super dog friendly. Beautiful clean property that feels more like a wellness retreat. We stayed in a king suite which is above the main building. Rooms were super nice with a huge deck! They have a sauna and a beach, although the water wasnt very clean. Complimentary bikes, kayaks, canoe and paddleboard that you can take anytime. Beautiful fire rings on the beach with all the supplies you need to start it. They have a small store but not really any food options so buy snacks somewhere else."
