I really enjoyed my stay. The owner was so kind and gave many excellent suggestions of places to eat and other places to visit - some of which I didn’t find on the regular websites, but which were well worth it. The location was lovely, just across the lake. I loved it!

The staff at Sails on the Lake were top notch, everyone was so nice and helpful! We loved the location as it was right across from the public beach and super close to downtown shops and restaurants! We also loved the kitchen setups in the rooms to make a quick breakfast or dinner before our busy days! Would 100% recommend this resort to anyone traveling in the area!
