When we walked in the room there was dead bugs on the floor so we checked the beds. They had bed bugs. They took us to another room in n a different building, they had dead bugs on the floor and bed bugs. I had the pictures to prove it. When the cleaning ladies came up, she looked like she was on drugs. We left. I would never recommend this place to no one.
This is an old property, which is fine for camping. However, there were bugs in the bed and everything was dirty. I realize it's a camping area, but we weren't plannning on roughing it. Set your expectations low if you stay here so you arent disappointed. And check the beds.
Room wasn’t ready an hour after check-in time. Switched to another room and it was FILTHY. Bedding had an odor, all countertops in bathroom and kitchen were dirty. The floors had not been swept or mopped in quite some time and turned our white socks brown after 10 minutes of walking on them.
We got there to check in for a 4 night stay and our total bill for 3 nights with taxes and everythingnwas $235. Thhey charged us #200 for incidental fees. This is a place on a very popular fishingnlake where LARGE bass are caught so people that typically stay here are there just to sleep and showernand charge their batteries for their trolling motors. We get in and the sugar they have to use for the coffee is from WHATABURGER!!!! They dont even get sugar to put in the rooms. The final thing that was most rainingnone day so we were in around 2 PM waiting for the rain to pass. All of a sidden someone walks in the room, no knock, nothing just walks in and then looks up and sees us and says "Oh sorry" turns around and walks out. The rooms also had a very strange odor. Almost like a bad incense smell that had been burning in there or just not something that was pleasant to the nose. We got some febreeze and sprayed everythingndown to help with the overall smell. When we return we will find another place to stay.

There was human Feces outside at the end of our hotel room. I rejected the first room it was dirty. Second room was a little better but could have been a lot better. Guy running the place was really nice but in my opinion he’s not getting what he needs to run it. The owner I heard lives in Dallas. I do have to say they did do some upgrades. They need extra help.Probably won’t stay there again. It’s a shame because it could be great like it was years ago.
Began slowly. Only one man dealing with RV's, store and hotel check-ins. He was friendly. Room was clean and appeared to have been recently painted. Upon check in I was informed that a $200 deposit was required besides my full payment for the room. I was told it would be refunded at check out. The mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. The turn plate in the microwave was missing. I was told if I left before 8am to leave the key in the room, but since the microwave plate was missing I wanted to make sure I got my $200 deposit back and was not charged for it. I was at the store/office at 8 the following morning to find the doors locked. Another customer showed up and called several phone #s posted on the door. After about 15 minutes the same man from the night before showed up. He was walking down the street. I told him about the plate and requested my deposit back. He assured me it would be removed from my credit card by noon that day. Well it has been 2 days and the charge is still pending on my card. I just called and did not get an answer at the store/office. I left information to return my call. I will not be going back nor will I recommend them.

Great spot for fishing fork. Access to ramp was helpful.
I read all the reviews for the past year and it was nearly a 50/50 split of people either loving it or hating it. One person complained immensely about the uncomfortable beds, another about the A/C, etc.
We just stayed here over Easter weekend. It was totally fine! I wasn’t expecting the four seasons for $56 a night.
Beds were comfortable, A/C worked well, rooms were clean overall, the staff was friendly.
Only complaint I have is the $200 hold for a deposit on my room that was not mentioned. My card wasn’t charged and the hold was released, just surprised at the amount for such a simple place to stay.
Walking distance to the lake, great parking and convenient. Would stay here again.
Avoid at all costs!
My experience here was terrible. The customer service was rude and unhelpful. The first room I was given was absolutely disgusting—when I brought it to their attention and even showed proof, I was met with disbelief. They reluctantly moved me to another room but refused to issue a refund, leaving me stuck unless I wanted to forfeit the inflated cost.
I slept on top of the covers and got out of there as fast as possible. To make things worse, the price was double what was advertised, just because of a small fishing tournament with fewer than 40 boats. Save yourself the trouble and book anywhere else.
The room floor was Griitty dirty.
We ask the manager to send someone to clean but did not show up.
They put us in a room next to a live in room guy Smoking outside in a chair.
Unless you are on a money budget...pay the extra to stay in a nicer location.
It's a fisherman's motel with a private ramp and lake access. The bed wasn't great, but we slept fine. The room was clean and A/C was cold. The store clerk and grounds keeper are both nice guys. They were helpful and polite and did want they could to make us comfortable.

I had a 5 night stay booked and bad weather only let me fish for 2days. They let me cancel the other 3 days and let me rebook them to a later date in the same year. Most people won’t let you do that thanks to the owners

Our stay at axtons was pleasant. We went for a fishing trip and stayed for 4 days. We stayed in duplex D. Two bed rooms, livingroom/kitchen area. Overall the rooms were very clean. My biggest complaint is that the beds in the rooms are TERRIBLE, not like oh i prefer a softer bed type bad but like i wouldnt even give it away for free sleeping onbthe ground was like sleeping on a cloud compared to theses beds. the beds are extremely old, worn out, 3 inches thick the bottom of the bunk bed was slanted in and ypu couldnt even breath without the entire frame squeaking. Honestly they are that bad. That being said, the kitchen had a coffee maker an apartment size fridge not a little mini fridge, and a hot plate. At the initial booking there were some issues with a pet fee for our service dog, which was handle very well by the owner/manager. Once we arrived to check in the staff memeber requested proof that our dog was a service dog in order to waive the pet fee. Our dog is registered and i showed him this, but explained that legally a service dog does not have to be registered nor does a handler have to provide proof of a service animal and let him know i had already spoken to management about our service dog. All ways good after that. The place is a little run down looking on the outside but inside was updated, alittle. This place has alot of room for growth. Simple updates such as better mattresses, and kitchen cookware would go a long way.

Beautiful picturesque site on the shores of Lake fork. Very nice staff
Good parking shop on site, plenty of shopping / eating options in town nearby. Very good value. The site and view make it so.
