What a fun weekend! My only complaint would be the grumpy lady with dreadlocks. Other than her, the rest of the crew were phenomenal!

Stopped here while boating on Anderson Ranch reservoir. The make a excellent Old Fashioned, the bar is well stocked for your choice of spirits or brews and the service is outstanding. Didn't stay at the resort or eat as friends were showing us around and we only stopped to grab some drinks.

Little piece of paradise stuffed back in the woods. This place was a delight to visit. Right near the water, they have hotel rooms and paid camping areas, paid showers for those not staying at the hotel, good food, a bar, and there was some karaoke the night we stayed. The people running the place are kind and very welcoming. 10/10 would recommend and we will definitely be staying there the next time we are through that area.
