It's right on the lake! Sort of. Well, to tell you the truth, there's no way to walk to the lake shore. The shore is fenced off and taken up by the private marina. If you look beyond the moored boats, you can see the lake. So, don't expect a nice morning walk by the lake. It's not possible without leaving Port Arrowhead.
This place was an alright place to stay, but we were slightly disappointed because we were expecting it to be a resort. When you label yourself a "resort", you can't have everything in disrepair. You've got to pay attention to details. Here's a couple things that I noticed:
1) There were cracks in the ceilings as I walked to my room. And lots of wet spots due to air conditioners leaking water. I hope nobody slips.
2) The mini-golf course was only half lit at night because bulbs in the "power company hasn't come to replace them yet." Plus, the course looked like it hadn't been fixed up in a while.
3) The pools were alright, but the outside hot tub was not working. We got in and froze our butts off. It was crazy! One of the other patrons said that "it's warmer than it was yesterday". Of course, no sign on it.
4) While we were at the pool, they put on a movie for kids on a projector screen. The sound quality was so awful that I couldn't even stand to listen to it in the background. It was loud and cracking. Also, it was a widescreen feature and the projector was cutting off the sides.
5) The room was dated and plain, other than the marble countertops. The bed was not the most comfortable. And the water flow in the shower left something to be desired.
6) My girlfriend asked for a couple extra pillows, and it took them an hour and half to bring them.
Like I said, it was alright, but no resort.
The PROS:
1) The people at the front desk were nice. In fact, all the employees were nice.
2) The place was pet friendly. We brought my girlfriend's dog and had no issues. She may have paid an extra fee.
My advice is don't pay too much for this place.
