The last two times we stayed here we had difficulty with the air unit. Last time we were there was first week in April of last year, and the heat was not working. It took a total of 2 hours to have problem resolved, and resolved around 9:30pm after a long time travelling and with children. This last visit was just a few weeks ago. The air unit started spittting out ice chunks and was not heating the room. This happened at 7pm and though the emergency phone number was quick to respond, the told me it would be at least an hour and half for maintenance to arrive as they are off site. We declined given we needed to be up early and slept in a very hot room. The next morning at 5am, the power went out which means there is no running water or plumbing and that was not resolved before we packed up and left by 8:30 am. Needless to say, this was all very upsetting. Our children love staying here as the facilities are clean and right on the water and they love the loft/bunkbeds. However, we cannot risk another a/c, water, and then plumbing failure. Also, no one contacted us for any type of reimbursement.

We really wanted to love this place, but it has been sadly neglected and unkept. The dirt-ish road to the resort is full of pot holes and the “paths” to the lake are dangerous. Positives…cute cabin, air conditioner worked great, and good location. We got to our cabin and the key wasn’t in the lockbox and the cabin hadn’t been cleaned. No problem, the guy at check in got us into another cabin quickly. The loft hadn’t been vacuumed and the fridge was leaking…husband fixed that, all good. We went to the dock to fish and there were metal rods everywhere and the dock and boat slips were falling apart, we worked through it. What really bothered us was the website, all the advertising, says they have jet skis and boats…that’s false. They have no jet skis and 1 boat which was under maintenance and unavailable the 4 days we were there. Renting jet skis and a boat was main reason we stayed there! We won’t stay there again and I hope they do something about the condition of the property…it could really be something special.

This place has potential but is way over sold in the description. It's a gravel parking lot with tiny homes. While the home itself is okay, I couldn't get past the bugs in the carpet of the upstairs landing. We'd planned to put our teen on a pallet there, as our other teen had the 2nd bedroom, but the carpet was disgusting. The next option was the couch that folds down to a bed BUT there were multiple stains and crumbs in the seams. There was an outdoor grill, but no lighter or matches, not the end of the world as I was able to ask around & use someone's. The real issue was there was no cutting board, cutting knife or steak knives!! Not one sharp utensil to be found. Our tiny home did not have a lake view, only one row does, no porch, and the only outdoor seats were 2 chairs with a view of a small dumpster. The saving grace for us is that we were in this area to visit The Whitewater Center and location wise this worked, but I would not stay here again. It probably should have been a sign when pulling up to the office we were greeted with the abdoned, empty swimming pool that looked like it hasn't been used in a decade!! This place either needs to do some upgrading or lower it's rates.

We stayed there for 1 night, and although the little cabin was so cute, THERE WAS NO RUNNING WATER OR AC!!!! It was over 90 degrees when we were there and there was no working AC. The fridge did not work. We could not shower because there was no running water. This is a great location and I would not be as upset, BUT, when I called the property directly the manager has been dodging my calls. I have emailed multiple times, called multiple times a week for the past month, and each time I am told that the manager is not around or that he had already called me back (he has not!). It is BARE MINIMUM to have running AC and water in a place that people are paying to stay at. This terrible service was extremely disapointting and I would not reccomend this place to anyone.

Property has a beautiful view of the lake. There are a lot of bees and wasp. If you have a known allergy do not come to this property. Management is not properly removing nests bees/wasps. Outside of the units are poorly maintained including broken and dirty Adirondack chairs. Inside of the unit is clean. The bed is less to be desired and more like a camp bed on a thin metal frame. If you are large or tall person, you may find it hard to maneuver around. In my opinion the property does not have enough lighting at nighttime. Yes my unit had a nice porch light but the walk to other units, etc is very dark. The property called me at 12:26pm the day of my reservation to ask my expected arrival time. The young lady failed to notify me that if I was going to be later than 5:30pm, that I need to call to get the code for access to my unit. We got stuck in traffic so we arrived an hour later than expected. I did receive an email from the property at 12:38 pm on my arrival date informing me of the office only being open from 3-5pm. However, I was driving so I didn't receive the email. Luckily, another guest in my group called me and told me that the office was closing soon and to call and get my code for my unit. This process needs to be managed better. When the representative called, she should have informed me of the policy. Anything can happen during travel and arrivals may not go as planned.

The property does have an excellent view of lake Wylie. The 1/2-mile road leading to the property is awful. It is mostly a single line road with numerous potholes. It is the worst paved road I have seen. At a quick look glance, the place looks ok. At a closer look, the property and tiny houses they are renting are in need of serious repairs. This place has not been kept up for some time. The unit we rented had two small AC units. One worked and other one sometime worked. The first night staying there we were woken up at 11:15 pm by the trash truck emptying the dumpster. The next morning at 6:45 am we were woken up by the loss of all electrical power and water to the entire property. At 8:00 am we were woken up again by lawn mowers right outside of your bedroom. Sometime between 3:00 and 4:00 pm the power and water was restored. The bathroom sink was about to fall off the wall. The shower drain was very slow to drain. At the end of my shower, there was 4 to 5 inches of water in the bottom of the shower. I happened to notice one of the windows was unlocked. I checked all of the windows and 3/4 of them were unlocked. It is so unfortunately with the excellent views of lake Wylie this place has and it to be a dump.
