wonderful and terrible
The cabin we had was wonderful. Kitchen was stocked so well. It was clean and pleasant.
However, if you advertise a restaurant and you are 17 MILES away from everything, that advertised restaurant better be open. We were panicked when the restaurant had not been open for over 1.5 years!!! The thought of going back 17 miles on a country road after driving over 5 hours was a deal breaker.
Although staff was super and helped us find some food in the little convenience store (which closed at 4:30!!!) Also, internet service ended about halfway up the mountain. If I had known they did not have cell service, I would not have booked since I was attending my daughters wedding and needed to be accessible.
The property is well kept, cabins are clean stocked with kitchen ware and bathroom amenities. We enjoyed horseback riding, however it is very difficult to get a hold of the stable the weeks before going or while on campus to make a reservation. It should be online to book the ride and sign waivers on line before the trip. I know the workers at the stable work very hard and this will simplify the process for them to print the daily schedule of rides and paid upfront.The wiifi is not in the cabins only at end of the road. Overall it is lovely to stay there and walk the campus.
I liked my overall stay a very quiet place surrounded by some beautiful landscape
The cabins didn't have either network or wifi

Beautiful peaceful stay.
Beautiful grounds. Really enjoyed the animals to view, including wild turkeys. The pools were beautifully situated and had unbusy times to please us. The lodge and internet access were very much appreciated. We never did figure out how to get the TV to work but it pushed us to just enjoy the beautiful surroundings and disconnect from busy electronic lives.

Not what was expected
At check-in, we were told that the restaurant on-site opened at 4pm. However, we found out that the restaurant had been closed since March. There was no horseback riding due to it having rained the day prior. We were not allowed to pet or feed the horses without staff present, and although there was no horseback riding, you would think staff would have accommodated by being present. The other pets were not available as well. It was a boring trip and the cost was high. We were let down.
After a slightly narrow windy road, we were pleasantly surprised by this beautiful ranch. Everything was clean and open. We were able to walk up to the horses to pet them. The cabin was very clean and functional. It made these city love birds very comfortable! Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer to enjoy eachother and this beautiful ranch.
the place is very relaxing. if you are addicted to internet then this is not the place for you since the signal is really bad. the family?adult lodge has wifi and its just basic. the only thing I don't like was that when we check out, we have to take out all linens and towels that we used, just like we were the ones doing housekeeping job in the end
Loved our little cabin. It was clean and fresh. All the "tools" we needed to cook our meals even barbecuing on the porch were provided. Enjoyed the amenities... swimming, water aerobics, hot tub, walks, playing pool and ping pong. The setting was beautiful and the staff were friendly and helpful. Limited cell phone service would be our only complaint.
The cottage where we stayed was beautiful and clean. It had two air conditioning units, one in the living room and one in the master room. The problem was that there was no way to cool off the bunk bed room - it was very hot, and the A/C unit in the living room did not reach, so we had to use a small portable fan that we happened to take.
The pool deck was slippery - be careful.
They provide balls and equipment to play the games for free (miniature golf, volleyball, basketball, horseshoe) in the country store. The equipment for pickleball is kept in the court, in a bench. You can rent movies for $3 per night at the country store, which is next to the pool.They are currently building a dog park next to the pickleball court. The playground is very simple, but it's good enough.
I did not know that most of the scheduled activities happen on the weekend, that the restaurant only opens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and that the store closes at 4pm during the week; so, plan accordingly. I also didn't know that we have to do some cleaning before leaving (sweeping, trash, dishes, fridge) to avoid paying $50.It was not that difficult, though.
My kids loved the heated pool and the horseback riding. A reservation is needed for horseback riding for an additional cost ($45 for adults and $15 for hand-led for people staying over and Thousand Trails members- the most affordable in the area). They're held in the morning to avoid the heat.
Overall, a great experience.
We loved the overall facility, but we were given a smaller cabin than the one I booked online. Technically it slept 4 with a queen bed and pullout sofa, but our group wasn't all keen on sharing beds. I had even called ahead to confirm the details of our accomodation, but when we arrived they gave us the little cabin. I went back to the kiosk to say we had the wring booking, but with no cell or internet service on site I had no way to pull up my booking confirmation to argue--not that it would have done much good because on Memorial Day weekend, as the host informed me, all the other cabins were already full. Our group had to cozy up, which made for a much less comfortable experience than we had planned for.
