Great house!

Our family of 5 loved this house. It sleeps 12 so we were able to really spread out and enjoy all the space. Loved the Hot Tub the most. The Resort was very quiet and easy to relax!

2024 family vacation

The cabin was very nice and had everything we needed My only issue is I thought we got a golf cart with the rental and not just access to a golf cart. Regardless we had an excellent time there and would definitely consider going back again.

Happy New Year

We had 5 adults for a New Years get away. The cabin was very nice, but could use a few doors for a little more privacy. More set up for a family with kids, the room with bunk beds doesnt have a door to the hall bathroom. Close to Cumberland Falls. We enjoyed New Years eve in Somerset. It was a great area and property management is amazing.

Holiday weekend

This property served our group well. The set up was great. Beds were comfy and air conditioning worked great for a very hot weekend. The resort is lovely. We felt safe yet our place was very private in a lovely setting and great location in proximity to the Burnside Marina. I do wish it had been cleaner. Floors and dishes and decorative pillows were not clean. We had to ask for more bath towels and wash rags as there were not enough for our group. The very bare minimum was provided in the kitchen and bathrooms which made a lot of packing and stops at the store needed for only a few days.

Great Place

The resort is up in the hills and very secluded. Woods surround the house and exactly what we want. The owner is very friendly and so helpful with everything. We especially love the homemade ice cream. I believe we tried all the flavors. It was so delicious. They also have homemade food, and we were very impressed. We canceled our Guthrie's Grill reservation and ate at the resort. It was the correct decision.

Family fun Retreat

I booked this home for my daughter, son in-law, son, daughter in-law, 4 grandchildren and my husband and I. We had plenty of room for all of us. It wasn’t as clean as I expected. We had to clean the floors and bathrooms. We enjoyed the pools. However, there were no public restrooms which we thought was strange. So even though the house wasn’t terribly far, it inconvenient to go back to the restroom.

Easter with family

We had a great experience. Check in was quick and easy. The house had lots of room to spread out. My family (hubs, me, 5yo and 2yo) slept downstairs and my in laws slept upstairs. My daughter loved trying out foosball and darts. We ventured out to Moonbow Falls and Big Fork Scenic Railway.
