I love the new renovations! The room was very clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Check in and check out were quick and easy. My cabin was right near the lake which added a beautiful view on walks around the property.

The room was very good. The only problem was the AC/heater control. Tried to lower the temperature and tried different ways but the system always went back to 80-81 degrees. Resorted to opening the windows to get the temperature lowered. Called front desk but was told the maintenance person was already gone for the day.

Its close to the village. The room was very clean which we appreciated. Good variety of clean dishes available to use for eating and cooking. Friendly staff at check in. Nice outdoor fire pit/BBQ area with a lake view. I'd give it overall about a 4.7, the only thing was we had wifi issues but we thankfully didn't really need wifi. Had a great time with our little family if three.

What we booked thru Expedia was a 1 room cabin. What we got was a I room studio. No counter , no closet, no table. The ‘Room’ did NOT Match the pictures.. we immediately upgraded to a much nice cabin..The Frontier staff was gracious & accommodating..Typical bait & switch by Expedia, which we will NEVER use again. Make your reservations through the actual resort for a FAR BETTER EXPERIENCE!

They were re-doing one side of where the cabins were. We were on the otherside that had been re-done with up to date items like fire pits, corn hole game and walking area with very nice light up fences. Over all the new cabins were very nice and up to date.

Definitely a aweful all around experience. A group were complaining when I arrived. They offered me an upgrade then changed their minds once I asked to see it because it was the cabin the people were complaining about. The heater was stuck on and would not go down, the bathroom floor was dirty, shower curtain dirty, and tub was dirty. I have photos of arrival, toilet does not flush completely, the “ lake view” you have to walk to and it’s not a beachfront stangent water area at end of lake, the pool ect was closed which was not listed. One of the beds seemed to be missing springs in an areas so I had a aweful night sleep. We went somewhere else the next day. There was no number to call to get help and Expedia rep said they couldn’t get ahold of property during the night. Next morning told them and they also told me that it strange that Expedia couldn’t get ahold of them but they had placed me on hold and told me they contact them the next morning also they told me that the price I paid was $50 less than what I was charges so something is fishy with this place. They point to Expedia as the issue but I am not to sure given all the other issues. Avoid this place there are a lot of better options and if it was not so late by the time they got to me because of the people before me complaining I would have gone somewhere else too.

I honestly absolutely adored my stay here. It was in a perfect location to walk wherever we needed. The view was absolutely gorgeous and I was able to take my dogs hassle free. Check in was amazing and I Would love to stay here again. However we stayed in cabin number 310. The sofa bed was broken and they attempted to help but ended up just blaming us and saying we were rude. I know what it’s like to work customer service and I would never be rude to any workers especially when it’s 1am.

NOTE: If you are looking for a cabin, this is not it. I booked this place thinking it was an actual cabin-like space. This is more like a remodeled unit. Aside from that, it's a nice place to stay. Everything is new, modern, and clean. We stayed in Unit 116. The front desk hosts were so welcoming and friendly. They made us feel at home. Thank you, ladies! The unit has a kitchenette area which we used to cook breakfast in the mornings. They supplied us with a k-cup coffeemaker, paper towels, dish sponge, and dish soap. There is a fireplace (but we didn't end up using it). I will say the sitting chairs are a bit stiff and really itchy. The bed mattress is unfortunately terrible. They provide no support. We had two nights of really bad sleep. Overall though, you can't beat the price on this stay. It was peaceful, quiet, and it's close to The Village and other main areas. We'd stay here again.
