The property was dated with some current up grades. Our cabin was good sized with screened in porch but no tv and internet was poor unless you were in the dinning cabin. The food was good. It is a great pl ace to go if you have children. Down side is they have no instructions in writing or on the computer for the times for meals,directions to their private beach . And finding someone in the office who knows anything
