Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Hard to find property, Poor condition of roads within the property. Cabins were clean but you had to do your dishes if you used any and take out your trash at the end of stay. Minimal amenities such as towels, tissues. Had coffee maker but you had to bring all of your supplies and coffee. In General the place was rustic. Calling it a resort is a real stretch.

Wij hadden een uniek oud huis met twee slaapkamers en een keuken met vastwasser. Heel mooi en knus. Er is een mooi zwembad en we werden heel hartelijk ontvangen. Het zwembad is ook fijn. Van het meer was weinig te zien vanuit het huisje.

The cabin was so clean and had everything we needed! It was quiet at night and we all slept like a baby! We went hiking around the lakes in the area but didn’t do any water activities. When the water level is up in Lake Buchanan, we will be coming back! Definitely recommend staying here!!
