Jelm Vacations from $759

The room was great! The ponds were great for kids to fish. The restaurant was ok. Very beautiful views. However the lodge was really nice…. But had very thin walls! I could hear people walking around all night up stairs. I could hear talking and even snoring through the walls. Oh and the ice machine would go off all hours of the night. Very loud.

The people at the front desk were nice and helpful. The beds were nice and clean. Beyond that though, it was a very unkempt property. The giant pool/hot tub building was falling apart and contained just a bunch of junk/garbage. The garbage cans on each floor were overflowing with garbage and the light in the stairway and hall areas were out, leading to a feeling of being unsafe upon our 11pm arrival. But the shower was hot, a/c worked well and there was a working fridge and microwave... Although the microwave was not plugged in... Because the cord wouldn't reach from the counter to the nearest outlet. We ended up moving the microwave to the bathroom counter in order to plug it in. Thankfully my daughter and I arrived at 11:15pm and were checked out before 9am. We slept well and they accepted our dog, so it was a helpful stop on our road trip.
