Would I patronize this establishment again? I’m not opposed to it. ##### Maurice D. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steph 10 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a great affordable-fun-trip for the whole family. Very close to several hiking parks. North Utica was right down the road and they have a beautiful town with shops and food and coffees. We stayed in a Villa/Cabin. It was wonderful but could use some updates (linens, carpet, sofa, etc.) Nothing that would keep us away though. We'll definitely be back. ##### Steph Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jenna 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay when visiting the state park ##### Jenna Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brenda 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean and spacious but there was no where to eat when we arrived. ##### Brenda Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Leland 22 Oct 2025 Disliked: Staff & service There was no pool access that was only for certain days and there was no breakfast amenities ##### Leland Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Julie 17 Oct 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities T ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kimberly 16 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Children were running the place, I saw no one working who was in their 30, not even close. Things were not open on time and closed early, it seemed like a high school student was the one who was making all the decisions.
