Kathy the owner/host, is one of the most charming, hardworking and fantastic cooks we've ever have had the chance to meet. The inn is SPOTLESSLY maintained, cleanest room I believe I have stayed at including all the Hiltons and high end resorts. Every morning at 9:00 a home cooked (by Kathy) breakfast is delivered to the room which was an unexpected treat. The onsite Tiki Bar and it's fabulous staff takes care of anything else you might need. It is a 21+ destination which was a plus for us. Thank you Kathy for a wonderful (extended) weekend! You made a beautiful home for all your guests to enjoy Hopefully we'll see you down the road, enjoy your bucket list Frank and Diane Brennan

I cannot comment on the tiki hut or the breakfast, as we got there late and left early the next morning. But the woman (I wish I knew her name) who checked us in was so warm and welcoming, and the rooms were just perfect. All the little details you typically get at a high end hotel - slippers, robes, nice soaps. And the bed and linens were very comfortable. I would stay there again anytime I was in the area.

Ohana Resort, formerly Riviera Resort…read more This rating and review is in response to the poor customer service my family and myself have received during the Pandemic. I understand these are challenging times, but not taking calls or saying you have to check with the manager then weeks go by and there is no follow up is unacceptable. Our family hosts a reunion here every several years, we have people coming from all over the United States. the older family members LOVE it here, their Uncles owned the resort over 50 years ago and being here brings back fond memories. HOWEVER they are the precise reason we cannot come to the resort, even if the Governor opens up by Father's Day weekend. We cannot ask family to fly, we cannot ask family to who are high risk to attend a function, we cannot ask those with small children or newborns or expectant mothers to attend. We just cannot take that chance right now. No matter what side of the COVID 19 you are on we just cannot take the chance in early June. We cannot even get a phone call to ask about booking next year. Very disappointed in the lack of response. Their refund policy needs to be reevaluated during a pandemic.

Make sure you bring 300 cash for the rental and deposit also. The dock hands were nice and assisted with getting everything situated on the boat. My only complaint was the boat was kind of a piece of crap. The engine kept bogging down, the trim was broke, which means if you go to the shallow sandbars you have to get out and manually lift the motor up so you don't drag on the bottom, most of the interior on the boat was ripped, there was no swim platform or ladder to get back into the boat with ease. All in all it got us out on the lake and we had a great time, but this vessel definitely needs to be retired...

I went with my boyfriend and another couple for Tip Up Town weekend and stayed in a unit they called a condo. From the outside it looks like a motel room, inside it had a small living room with a futon & a chair, a small kitchen area with a round table & 2 bedrooms separated by a bathroom. It was perfect for the price, $170 a night. We brought food & cooked our breakfast & dinner, saving $'s. The inside reminded me of a 1950's cabin with it's knotty pine walls and moose decorations. The key things though were the shower worked with lot's of hot water, the beds were comfy - double beds - (a bit small though if you're a big guy like my boyfriend), but we managed. Bob the owner has a fire pit set up outside & that was a great place to end the evening chatting with the other guests. The first night we brought out our ipod & speaker and had a bit of a bonfire party, a good time was had by all. Night 2 we had the fire roaring again, but a bit more low key. I would definitely recommend, we're already planning our trip back there for next year. Living room had a tv (old style) but cable, note there was no oven (surprise, no way to cook our frozen pizza) in the kitchen & a 2 burner gas stove top.
