    The resort's campground and its Stillwaters Restaurant is now open, and its lodge and cottages are set to open Tuesday, according to general manager Andre’ D’Amour.

    “While we work to reopen the resort in stages, we promise to always provide a getaway that is safe, relaxing, and enjoyable,” D’Amour said.

    Lightburns Restaurant overlooks Stonewall Jackson Lake.

    "At this time, we are accepting reservations for the campground, cottages, and lodge in relation to the reopening dates noted for each type of accommodation. Reservations will include flexible cancellation policies, should guests decide to change their plans.”
