We picked staying here because we stayed next door last year, and the thought of staying somewhere that we could cook our own food appealed to us.  So, this year, we booked a cabin.  Really reasonable prices for a two bedroom cabin, that has a kitchenette, and living room.  The resort is right on the Lake, and has a beach, and miniature golf(!) right on site.  They provide a small gas grill for BBQ, too.

I've no complaints about the place, at all.  In fact, I am certain that I've never, ever, been in a cleaner spot in my life.  I'm totally serious.  They take clean to a new level, here.  Every cabin was newly painted.  Every possible surface in every room was buffed to a high sheen.  Every thing that could be, was shrink-wrapped, just to prove it had been cleaned by them.  Honest.  Even the hand towels were encased in plastic.  The pots, the utensils.  Okay, each individual fork wasn't shrink-wrapped, but the utensil tray was.  The weirdness of this obsession tickled me, immensely.

The cabins are all nestled in a pine grove, all the way down a steep slope to the Lake's edge.  It's a very quiet place to stay, which was nice during a rowdy bike event.  Most of the year, I'd say this place caters to families.

The decor is straight out of the Seventies.  Not, cool California Seventies, but Uncle Rosco's basement Rec Room Seventies.  I got a little nostalgic, and found myself humming Bay City Rollers songs.
Check out the rooms photos on their site.

One final note:  bring things like dish soap with you.  It's not provided.
