I enjoyed my time at the Grand View Lodge. The range of activities available was impressive, and the natural beauty of the surroundings really made the stay special. While the food was excellent, I felt that the excessive use of plastic for drinks during meals was concerning. The two-bedroom cabin we stayed in was nice, although the check-in process could have been smoother.

My stay at Fairway Pines was a mix of great accommodation and some frustrating experiences. The new accommodations were stunning, and we had a blast with various boating activities. However, the waterfront area was overcrowded, and the staff couldn't do much about it. Sadly, the dining experience left a lot to be desired with bland food and slow service, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a fun trip, but I wished for better dining options.
