I booked the Villas because we wanted more of a cabin feel and we were not disappointed!! The check in process was easy and convenient and our Villa (104) was just what we were looking for. It was like walking into a cozy up north home with a touch of country living. The place has comfy beds, couches and two bathrooms stocked with shampoo and even some little packets if laundry detergent for the little washer and dryer. Fluffy extra towels, blankets, pillows and more. The deck could use a painting but who cares when you are literally on a sandy beach with a dock! Awesome location! Kitchen is filled with everything you need. I'd recommend some nice wine glasses but other than that it had everything! We will be back year after year!!

Good value and conveniently located. Our villa, 108, had weak WiFi and awful knives & cooking pans. The beds were comfortable and like so much older construction, the bathrooms had the uncomfortable “squatty potties” rather than the modern high sitting comfortable oval design. Will definitely rent again but hope to see some upgrades in the minor areas mentioned.

I stayed in Villa 122 with a few friends. Everything in the unit was brand new, clean, & very nicely finished. It felt like a luxury hotel. There was great attention to detail with lots of hooks, outlets, & even charging ports right where you needed them. The kitchen was more updated than my home kitchen & had everything we needed. I was impressed by the number of hiking & biking trails within walking distance. We used the hot tub at the main building, jumped off the dock that is directly in front of the unit, used the in-unit sauna, & enjoyed the beautiful views. I plan to return during ski season. I highly recommend requesting unit 122!

The Villas were very pleasant and comfortable. We had 12 of us and booked 117 and 118, the doors and steps ran right up to each-other so it was almost like having one big Villa, even though they obviously weren’t connected. Most of our golf trips we try to get one big place but this definitely worked out better for the people that went to sleep earlier could stay in one. The yard itself could of been a little more kept up as I was somewhat surprised it wasn’t mowed for the weekend. Granted it’s been a late spring. The bugs were also bad at times so bring spray or a something to keep on the deck to avoid the bugs. Highly recommend though!

Try not to listen too much to the lesser reviews, The Villas are an amazing place to stay. Sure they're on the pricy side, but they are spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. The views are incredible. The kitchens have most everything you need to save money and make meals 'at home.' 112 is one of our favorites with a real fire place, foosball table, card table, plenty of games... One of the best parts, literally walking across the street to hit the Nordic ski trails. The TVs aren't that great, but if that's what you're doing, you're missing out. Thanks for a great stay. Already looking forward to next year!

The rooms are phenomenal, a lot of space. There was some noise but not enough to disturb me. The pool is a nice addition.

The family booked 2 villas for a large celebration, and it worked out wonderfully. There was almost everything we needed to cook and serve everyone. All we brought were paper goods, food and beverages. Everyone enjoyed a day of skiing/tubing, and there was plenty of space to gather or take a break.
