The rooms are nice and a good size. The property is beautiful right on the lake! It’s convenient to Hiawassee and surrounding towns. Staff is always nice and helpful! The porches and balconies on the resort side need some repair. It would be nice to have some plastic cups to make a drink in, they only have paper coffee cups and those aren’t suitable for an iced drink. Overall we’ve stayed here multiple times and would recommend.

This was a wonderful resort. The room was clean and comfortable with nice linens. The grounds were landscaped beautifully and the dock was well maintained. Sets of Adirondack chairs were placed around for watching the events on the lake or just relaxing. Highly recommend.
