Thomsonite Beach Inn

Thomsonite Beach Inn

8/10 Good
"I think this property is probably older, but our room "cabin" was updated fairly recently it appeared. Everything was nice and clean and we had a good amount of space. We appreciated the lady at the front desk answering questions we had and she was pretty friendly. They provide all the wood and charcoal if you want to grill or use the firepits. They even provide smores which we planned to use over the firepit but it got pretty windy and chilly so we made them inside on the gas stove. They have a few outdoor lawn games like bocce, cornhole and washers and we played washers. (They also have board games in the office if you get there early enough to check those out). The view is beautiful right along the water and there is lots of seating outdoors to enjoy it. We definitely enjoyed our stay here."

"Check-in process took longer than I would've liked. Room was very nice, the only issue was the coffee pot was not cleaned out. Resort was nice, especially enjoyed the Coho Café. We also used the indoor hot tub, which was nice but had to search for the switch to make it run, as it was not next to the hot tub. Also, getting ice was a walk, and not in the building. Overall we liked the resort and would stay again."
