Sounds like the "vacation from hell." This would make a perfect gift certificate for two nights to someone you don’t like. The place was in it’s heyday for bubbie, zadie, and your parents. Not any more! Better to retain old memories. However, should you decide to revisit the place, here’s a check list to make your future stay a more pleasant one:
1. A fulll wet suit, goggles, fins, and a swim cap for the lake and possibly, the dining room
2. Seat cushion for the card room chairs
3. Large beach towels
4. Board or video games from home
5. A portable a/c or a box fan
6. A large cooler of food, a portable camp burner, and some cook ware
7. Hard sucking candy
Lacking fin or tail, the gefilte fish swims with great difficulty, as do the guests of the Kutshers Hotel in Lake Anawana. My report to Trip Advisor would be "Feh."
