The Retreat at Artesian Lakes
This huge resort campus with horseback riding, canoeing and spa services is a vacation spot in its own right. Private cabins, some of which are on the waterfront while others have big porches and rocking chairs, can accommodate any number of guests. Hiking and bike trails are located on the grounds as well as a restaurant serving cuisine with herbs harvested from the resort's own herb garden.
