"We really enjoyed our stay. The environment was serene and restful. We liked the balcony overlooking the court yard and enjoyed swimming in the pool/hot tubs with the view of the lake. It was nice to have two restaurants on site and the food was good. There is a store across the street for snacks and we listened to a good band playing at a bar on the other side of the store. Wood’s Bay is a nice area and is only 5 miles from the historical part of Big Fork. I would highly recommend a stay here."
