We loved this property, but were frustrated with the lack of both cable and internet. While we liked disconnecting and spending time outdoors, we needed internet for work calls and it wasn’t available. We also would have liked to be able to watch TV at night or hook up our WiFi baby monitor to keep an eye on young kids at night were in a different level. Property management was notified several times bur it couldn’t be fixed. Otherwise a great property, but that was a very big negative.

Enjoyed the long weekend at this property. Great lake-front location with easy access to marinas.

Beautiful view. Nice beach making it easy for little ones to get into the water. Dock was great for fishing. Only issue was that the kitchen supplies were poor. Not really that big of a deal, just would bring some of my own next time.
5.0
We had a very relaxing week at the Golden Retreat. Love that it is dog friendly with built in gates on deck and dock and dog crates available for when we went out boating. Plenty of room for family of 6; well stocked kitchen; comfortable furniture. TVs in every room, but we didn't use them once - too much to do on the lake! Walkable to Mitchell's Point Marina - we rented a boat from them - super nice owners. Kids had a great time. We highly recommend this property!
