100 stars! I love this place and will come back often. It was clean comfortable and the owners were kind and patient. They were up late for my late last minute arrival. I was in Fuzzy Bear 27 and felt at home. I had everything I needed and felt safe. Thank you so much for having me! I will be back many times in the future!

We returned to this property because of the volleyball and basketball nets, the pool and the playground. However, they no longer had a basketball or volleyball to borrow, some of the swings were broken, and they didn't heat the pool and it was ice cold.
Regarding the inside, it was not very clean, the window wouldn't

No heat in the hot tub. Dirty pool. Toilet and kitchen sink leak. Couches so old. Bathroom old and falling apart. None of the amenities exist. I would not come back unless there was a total renovation. Don’t trust their website.

I liked the interior of the cabin and how it was very cozy, clean and had a vintage look.It does need some work on the outside area though. The staff was very friendly and easy to access.

The person in charge does not have good communication. The room I had designated was too dirty. He assigned me another place. The only people who were nice were the ones who cleaned. I definitely would not stay in that place anymore.

We booked a cabin with the Jacuzzi in the cabin, but when we checked in, it was broken down and said do not use. They did switch us to a cabin that had the Jacuzzi tub instead. Overall, it was a nice day, and the cabins are kept clean and they’re comfortable. It seems they’re under new management or new ownership, but the man working was very kind and we would definitely come back!

Not what we expected.
The cabin was nice, The manager is very accommodating. He gave us whatever we asked for. He gave us an outdoor umbrella and chairs as we were going to the beach. We also asked for balls so the kids could play and he gave them to us. The swimming pool was very clean. The cabin was very hot specially upstairs we had fans but because of the weather, it did not cool the place The resort is on a very busy street, so there was a lot of traffic on a very busy road. There was constant road traffic. Definitely not a quiet place . there were some things that needed to be fixed , And I did mention it to the manager. The coffee pot needed to be replaced the battery for the fire alarm also needed replacement. The resort is dated, It’s obvious that this cabins have been around for a long time and not much upkeep has been done to them, they need a lot of work, so does the resort. Pictures do not represent how it really is.

Super cute location, but property seemed run down. Seems under new management and they don’t have their systems down yet. Ask at checkin for extra things like toilet paper or paper towels. Our room was not stocked with those.

Great Place for a Vacation!
I really enjoyed staying at this property. It was comfortable, they provided everything I needed, and when I had an issue with the stove, they immediately came and fixed it. The pool was lovely, the grounds were clean and there was ample outdoor space for me to walk my dogs away from other clients staying there. It was close to the lake, close to shops and restaurants and a very nice place all around!
