Don't you have any books on old junk on the lake?
Basically the Hotel was top dead center on the island. The landing (still visible) is on the north-west end of the island with a long winding road/drive/walkway to the house.
If you know the spot where Erica tried to land here boat the "Large Steel Structure is just out there, in about 25' of water. Follow the shoreline clock wise to the "Broads" side of the island and you'll find the remains of the old landing. Back out from there to 25'-35' of water and begin your search, it won't take long to start showing "color", as they say in the treasure hunting business. Remember, the artifacts are not just laying on the surface of the bottom... You have to put some effort into finding them.
Once you had your fill of rooting in the mud (my favorite part of the dive), head over between Diamond and Rattlesnake about half way and if you're real lucky you'll find what I'm talking about. Here are some hints: it's 30-35' long, 12' wide, it's steel, its gray (was) and has a wheel.
BTW: It's cold, dark and deep there... No place for the wimps...
