Room, Resort View (Fireside)

This room faces the resort grounds, with large windows that bring in the view. Blackout drapes let you sleep in when you want to. It is a calm outlook rather than a dramatic lake panorama, so it suits guests who plan to spend most of the day at the lake, pools or spa.

You can choose 1 King or 2 Queen Beds, and the room sleeps up to 4 guests. The bedding is premium and hypo-allergenic, and turndown service is available. A free rollaway or extra bed and a complimentary crib can be added for families.

The room measures 463 sq. ft., which gives a couple or a small family space to spread out. Heating and air conditioning, blackout drapes and a flat-screen TV with cable and premium channels, pay movies and an iPod dock make it comfortable for several nights. You also have the resort's pools, beach, fitness center and spa close by.

The private bathroom has a separate bathtub and shower. It comes with bathrobes, designer toiletries, towels and a hair dryer, so you can choose between a long soak and a quick rinse before dinner.
