The property is close enough to the lake to walk to and we loved that. They are still working on some of the things they are going to offer and when they get everything finished it will be great. Great AC and comfortable beds!

All you really need is your swimsuit! And yes you can walk to the sandbar from the public beach without needing floaty devices. Our dog was able to join us too. Resort has many indoor and outdoor amenities! The staff is quick to respond with questions or needs and super friendly! They clean the entire resort daily and even leave treats. It’s just truly a gem all around and we will be back!

The property was a 5 the room was a 4 . It was nice that it was after Labor Day and all their amenities were still open and available. Last year we stayed somewhere that same timeframe and nothing was out or available for us to use. The gentleman that works there was always there maintaining the property and amenities. He was able to answer any questions that we had. The property is across the street from the lake and next-door to a marina so everything you need in walking distance.

The Sandbar is being renovated. Only half of it is done. There is no check-in or no one to actually speak to. If there is a problem we had to talk with the workers. The outside bar is not set up yet. There was no iron or ironing board in the room. Having said that, the room was very nice and clean. The outdoor space was nice and functional, good view of the lake. They did have an indoor area with couches and a couple game tables. It will be a really nice place when it is complete!

Please note that the staff was very nice. However, the pictures online are very deceptive and this resort is currently under construction and not right on the lake. Yes you can walk down to boat ramp. The pictures online do NOT reflect the current situation of what the place looks like. The room was completed and was very nice but I feel duped by the owners and asked for a partial refund as not all amenities were available but did not get a response. Shame, shame for false advertising.

Overall we had a great stay at a new modern place with an awesome location. Some negatives we experienced were a minor smell of smoke in the room, a musty smell in the hallway outside of our room, and also I disliked the lack of communication that I wouldn’t be getting my code to my room until exactly 4:00. I got there 15 min early and was very confused about how to check in.

There is very little sound proofing. You could hear everything in the room next door. It was clean and very close to torch lake. The smoke detector kept going off in the morning while showering. It seemed to be related to the steam.

From the moment my husband and I pulled into the property we felt like we were in our own world. Everything is very well taken care of. Just Jake, who works on the property, was extremely helpful with so many different things and that really helped us a ton. We were so impressed that I called my in-laws to take the 3-hour scenic drive up to us. We were able to rent the house at the last minute for one night to accommodate them. The pictures posted to social for the property are beautiful, but I recommend anyone needing a reset this book this property TODAY. ITS GOING TO TAKE OFF VERY QUICKLY!
