Awesome rural spot. Dirt bike park. Lots of trails and good little hiking potential. Near the river. Drought when we stayed but imagine it’s extra gorgeous when the rivers full. Staff is great! Thank you!

Perfect minus dirty floor
The cabin was super cute! Adorable decorations and colpr scheme was perfect. Very grateful for the full kitchen! Did notice that the floor was very very dirty throughout the cabin. Felt like walking in a fastfood kitchen. Barefoot walking was absolutely not possible. The chairs on the front porch were cracking so we couldn't sit in them outside. Even with the dirty floor we still really enjoyed our stay. Very friendly. Kind and respectful place.

Fun place - low to the ground amenities, reminded me of a KOA park. Awesome access to their cool mountain bike trails and fishing (weird combo). The staff is super sweet and took great care of me. Going back next year!

Cozy clean cottage with two beds. Full equipped kitchen for long stay. (I stayed one night but next time I will stay longer!). One downside was “flies” . I guess due to piled garbage bags, there are lots of fries. (I could manage but this is the only negative point). Other than that, receptionist is so smiley and friendly. I highly recommend this place

The price and location were great. The roads driving through the resort are quite difficult to drive wouldn't bring a small car or a low clearance vehicle. The stone cabins are very nice . The king bed in cabin 17 is very comfortable. The fan in the room with the kid beds didnt work, it was very hot in there. There are large ac window units in both living room and the king bedroom . I give the stay a 9 out of 10. The bathroom is very low to the ground , the shower is low if you're over 5ft 9". The scenery was amazing.

Outstanding experience
A very pleasant surprise. This place is really cool. It reminds me of an old school summer camp. Nicely appointed cabin, comfy bed, full kitchen, a porch to enjoy the evening and early morning. We definitely will be back to spend more than just one day. We made several new friends (the resident cats) as well, especially the gray one, who we call fat cat.

While the weather was so very hot the cabin was nice and with two bedrooms and two baths it was comfortable and spacious. The pool was nice but at 5:00 at nite it was warm and not refreshing since it was 105 degrees. I have been here over the years about 25 times and love this place.
