No drop-off club in the catalog notes. Two outdoor pools, heated lap pool, marina rentals (kayak, SUP, jet ski), lake cruises. All ages; best 6+.
Family room fit
Lake-view standard from $269/night; terrace rooms and suites $400–$700 in summer peak.
The lake-at-the-window stay. Floating green is the novelty; marina and views are why families return. Silverwood 30 minutes north.
