August 2026

What a wonderful palace of a facility! We celebrated my husband's 80th birthday with our entire family at Lakeview Manor and everyone was impressed!! Each family enjoyed the accommodations and it was a good foundation to our celebration. From the rooms with bathrooms in each to the 2 kitchens and the various sitting areas, it was comfortable and lovely. The pools and cornhole and volleyball were our daily activity and competitive games in the playroom rounded out our evenings. Each family cooked a meal in the kitchen with plenty of space in the fridge/freezer upstairs and the same downstairs. Plenty of room. The 2nd kitchen was used for all the baking. We had puzzles and games and a slideshow running for my husband in the kitchen sitting room. Always something to do. This couldn't have been any better. Yes, there were a couple instances we needed some help...miscellaneous maintenance items, but management addressed each promptly. So easy to get in touch with. One suggestion...this estate is so huge and you get lots of steps in. Bring indoor slippers because the floors get hard on your feet. Thanks Book a Memory for the lovely MENORIES we will cherish forever!!
