Noon Lodge at Mallard Bay

10/10 Excellent

"It's a great property and well maintained. It was a little different to not have contact with any staff either on arrival or departure. However, check-in and check-out were easy, so it's fine. I liked the place and will return."

Lakefront Escape

8/10 Good

"No hangers in the wardrobe. Bring your own. No cutting board and cattle at the kitchen. Some pans don’t have covers. Kitchen dishes and glasses set very basic. The floor inside the unit has many single steps stairs. 2 steps from living room to the kitchen. One step from kitchen to the bathroom. Watch your steps, you may fall. House has 2 queen beds. One is comfortable, another one has thin foam mattress that is smaller than a bed frame, be careful. Balcony door doesn’t have a lock, kids may run out to the balcony, nothing prevents them from open the door."
