The resort offers great amenities, including access to the lake for fishing and swimming, a sweet lodge, and recreational options like a playground and pool. However, first-time visitors have noted a lack of initial welcome, some cabin maintenance issues, and concerns about the boat ramp's condition, which affected their overall experience.

Always a wonderful time at Little Winnie Resort, great atmosphere and people! Right on the lake for fishing or swimming, some options of rental for pontoon possibly boats too. Sweet lodge with beverages goodies and merchandise and a place to hang out, playground and pool near by the lodge. Just overall a great place!!

Thanks for a great experience/time again this year. My family always has the best time. We already can't wait until next year and we just got home. Thank you Cody, Cassie and Hunter.

I feel this resort is for guests that continually come back. As first timers we felt we were not very welcomed. Location was great, but our cabin smelled, no curtain on the front door. Never once did any staff come over to welcome us or check in to inquire how our stay was. We were very disappointed. Lake was to far down to sit and enjoy lake life.

We stayed for six nights (left a day early) in a two-bedroom cabin.
Good points: The cabin was clean and there was plenty of space to park our boat trailer. The kitchen was adequately stocked with what you need. There was a one-page document with some information about the resort. The staff we encountered were friendly enough. If you are just coming to fish, the location is great.
The bad: The cabin had settled quite a lot over the years it seems and was at quite an angle and unfortunately the stove had not been leveled so cooking eggs in the morning was an experience. The grill outside was in need of replacing the grate and could have been washed prior to our arrival. They claim to have a private boat ramp and when I saw it was only open 4 times a day, I took a walk down to it to check it out. It was a mud pit and I could not launch there due to the shape it was in. This was one of the main reasons for coming to the resort and was quite a disappointment.
