2 What Are We? Saddlebag Lake Resort is an Association of Homeowners from throughout the US and Canada, (and a few from other countries) who have formed an "Over 55 Retirement Resort" of approximately 789 manufactured homes. Our goal is simply to be the friendliest place you could hope to find to retire and enjoy life.

Upon arriving at the resort, the first thing you will see is our Administration Center,  with 24/7 Security, our front gate, and our Welcome Garden. Homeowners receive a barcoded "gate pass" and can come and go as they please. Registered guests may rent a gate access card for the duration of their stay, but all others must sign in at the Administration Center to obtain access.
