"This was my partner's and my first time staying and we were delighted and charmed! We got a great deal, and we fell in love with the very scenic area. The staff were so friendly, really going above and beyond to create a welcoming atmosphere, going so far as participating in karaoke night themselves! The room was great, with everything we needed! The only things we wish we had was greater access to public transportation/more walkability and a fitted sheet..."

"Just came back from a weekend here with friends. It was wonderful. We stayed in a dog friendly cabin - was great to be able to bring ours along. Check in was fast & easy. We were able to get in early and enjoy the pool. The pool was a super fun vibe. There were multiple drag queens doing performances and an awesome DJ. Everyone was having a great time. Lots of options for drinks. We had dinner and lunch..."

"Reading through some of the past reviews, I had some reservations. But the price is very reasonable during off-season, so I figured I would book. There wasn't an office to check-in due to off-season. Instead, there is a note on the window by the main entrance with contact info, which I called and immediately got a response. Once I figured how to contact the host, check-in was fairly easy. I drove to the room as instructed. The property is situated..."

"I needed an inexpensive room for one night that wasn't far from NYC. Found this cute resort via Priceline. The only thing I missed when making my reservation is that my floor had shared bathrooms. There was a sink and tons of towels in my bedroom, but the bathroom was down the hall. If you don't like the idea of sharing a bathroom, then be sure to check if your room will have it's own bathroom (this might be an..."

"Update: this time staying here...the cabins were very cute... we went back because the atmosphere and people are so much fun. Had a much better experience. The karaoke was fun and the pool was fun. Room prices are a little high but overall I love this place and always have a great time. Food is still great. This is my second time staying here. The food is amazing. I will say the king room is much much better than the..."

"Very nice relaxing atmosphere. The staff is the best, if you visit please be kind to them. They work long hours and do it with a smile the entire day. The pool is very nice, and includes a bar. The accommodations are as nice as expected for a resort in the country. Food is pricey but very delicious. The night club was positively shocking, in a old barn converted to a bar, making the night club a special place to..."

"I come here every year on a day pass with friends. The pool is lovely as are the surroundings. I really miss the fountain in the pond below the pool area. The bar is close by and drink prices aren't bad. I have not stayed in the lodge but the exterior looks like it could use some TLC. There used to be a restaurant on premises, but that does seem to be the case anymore. Nice place for a day..."

"Rooms were definitely small. Fits a full size bed, one tall dresser, one kitchen chair, one small end table and a mini sink which was in the corner. There was no bathroom in the room, but there is a public/shared bathroom in the hallway. (Weird but it was clean). The room did not have a TV or radio, just a couple of pictures on the wall. Resort has a bar with a floor area and a small cage to dance/DJ..."
