5 of us came up for the first time on a mancation June 2017. The fishing was great, people were friendly, and food was great. When your looking at the menu for breakfast and we asked what choices we can have and the server says" you can have whatever you want on the menu", then your at the right place. We rented a boat and that was great also.
We read the negative comments like most do before we came but we chose to form our own opinion and are happy we did. I will say this as far as the rules comments we did not see any rules that weren't already common sense. The food was the same. Not sure you set the correct expectations for yourself because this was a lodge not a restaurant. The food was great for the price. The strict meal time comment probably needs to remember that these people are working 7 days a week from minimum 7am to 6pm and living on site to handle / answer issues. Breakfast is at 8am and diner at 5 so I feel my 7 to 6 is pretty generous cause it is probably more 6am to 8 pm.
In short no one's opinion matters, not even mine so I would check it out for yourself and form you own opinion.
