Oktoberfest/birthday trip

Lovely home with 2 tv's and a fun standup arcade machine that was very entertaining. We enjoyed the fire pit. The owners answered questions quickly. There was a slow drain in the sink of one of the bathrooms, but it wasn't horrible. Could have done without paying for the resort amenities since we were gone most of the time, but we did make time for one trip to the indoor pool, so the money wasn't wasted. Place was such a great location for going to Helen. Would definitely recommend.

Very unique property

This property is SO UNIQUE and made a great haven for our family. I do concur there does seem to be a lingering musty scent and the resort hot tub is out of service, patio and fire pit was super nice but be prepared to do battle with whatever spiders have chosen to take residence within the patio furniture and chairs. Very close to Helen!

Worst experience

These place okay but they have bed bugs we had to sleep on the floor it was impossible to sleep on the beds we are all bitten due to bed bugs bites I needed up going to the Dr I advised the property owner about it and ask for a refund she said there was no bed bugs or insects on her house according to her she brought in different people to take a look honestly I think it’s no fair that I paid an amount of money so my family and could have a gateway weekend and enjoy ourselves together and we ended up sleeping in the floor and basically the owner of the house say am layer good thing I have pictures of the insect bites. Worst place ever…..

Enjoyed overall

The property itself is beautiful, you look out the windows at the scenery, and you don’t really see any of the other campsites. The addition portion of this of this property, the fire pit I absolutely love. Deck has a little wear and tear, but appears to be very sturdy. It’s attached to an existing camper and turn into a residential property. It appears that all the campsites are set up this way. The older camper that it’s attached to is very clean, appears to be well kept with the only negative I have is a musty smell to this area. The dishes also had the smell, once re-washed after taking out of the cabinet, the smell is gone. Not sure of the source specifically, but all of the cabinets that were in the camper side have this smell. The resort recreational activities were as good to be expected being off-season, with the only catch is believe the hot tub was listed on this listing, but I’m not 100% sure, but it has been out of service for two years per resort staff. Kids loved, riding the horses, and the other activities. Also, just before leaving found that the drain underneath the kitchen sink was leaking notified the property manager who was quick to respond with out issue. I would stay again should that musty smell/issue be addressed.

Extremely nice stay.

My wife and siblings stayed for a family visit. We didn't use the resort's amenities. We enjoyed the fire pit and the home's many sitting areas, mostly outside as you see in the pictures posted on the listing. We can't comment on resort amenities, although the hot tub we're told is waiting for an inspection before they can allow access (heads up and inquire if you're planning on this, as we were). The other amenities seem to be in service. Tracy has a very nice place and we're planning on more visits to her home in the near future.

Very Nice and Quant

Trying to find the place was a bit tricky but once we had no issues after that. The home is nessled in trees and so tranquil. The house is nicely done. It had everything we needed to cook. There is plenty of room for a few couple and kids for sure. Everyone we came in contact with was super nice. Having access to the pool was wondering. Our stay was very pleasant and had no major issues.

Interesting "RV to stick" stay.

*Read the entire description* we made the mistake of not reading it throughly Nd were suprised when we had to pay extra per day and per person to enter once we got there. Totallt our fault, not the host, for not readig it all. We woukd have still chosen to stay. We really liked this home. The layout was super confusing at first until we realized the original portion is an RV as required by the resort. It was a very comfortable stay, everything work3d wondderfully. The kitchen is simply stocked, so, if you cook a lot you may need to bring extra serving plates and spoons. I had to sweep and mop the day we got there, but, the hosts said they would deal with that with their cleaning folk. I would give it a 4.5 because of this. The amenities at the resort are super nice as are the poeople. We attended the sunday morning service, it was a traditional country service and the pastors message was great. Would stay again for sure!

Great location for fall

We really enjoyed the stay. The house is in great location and very cozy and clean. We like the big deck in the woods. The only thing is that the owner didn't mention in the listing that we have to pay resort fee $8/person per day, so for two of us, $96 extra cost.
