“This property strikes me as a place aspiring to be more than just a stopover. Its family-friendly setup, including pet-friendly cottages, aims for a broader appeal, though some experiences seem inconsistent. The proximity to St. Joseph Bay and local spots is a definite plus, suggesting a focus on integrating with the area's charm.”
