Wonderful place to stay for a little while or an extended period. Our apartment was an upstairs lake front location and the views of the lake were incredible! The layout of our apartment was excellent with enough space in each room for storage. The bathrooms were well designed and roomy with skylight for natural light to stream through. The kitchen area had every amenity. The property is well maintained and secure. Lorraine, the manager was welcoming, friendly and very efficient. Thank you, Lorraine! Highly recommend.

Fabulous position with stunning lake view. Enjoyed the hot tub, full kitchen, 3 bedrooms, comfy lounge with plenty of seating for relaxing and dining. I wouldn’t rate the property itself as luxury 5 star however, as it needs some maintenance and updating, especially in bathrooms.

Our suite was very spacious and room for the 4 of us with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen and bathrooms were very modern and all was very clean. The pool was nice and the boardwalk was right in front of the property. It was a short drive to town so very convenient.
