Guess you could call me prejudice but my mom & dad bought the R & D Resort in 1952 the year I was born. I'm 66yr. My mom still lives in the home I grew up in. My brothers are now running the family business. My mom and dad took pride in family, cleanliness of the resort, they loved people in general and there hard work paid off. It's a great place to go and unwind from today's busy lifestyle. I know you would love it there. Give them a call and check it out, you won't be disappointed! 🤗
