★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Uncle Mergen · Aug 2025

Well, we won’t be back. Beds sucked. Like sleeping on blow up mattresses with dollar store sheets. TV sucked. Cheapest little Walmart TV ever. (F) Owner had poor attitude. Expect ZERO accommodations, just give her her money. Cabins are priced as, is AND THEN you get to clean the cabin before you leave or they charge extra! I gave 2 stars because the cabin itself was decent. Oh, and plan for TAX, because that’s not calculated in.

Stayed here for a week. Fortunately you can pick your lodging but not the weather. We had a nice 1 bedroom cabin at the end right on the lake. It rained the whole week but we did have a nice warm place to stay. The owners were very nice & welcoming. We really liked the 2 rockers & windows facing the lake to watch the storms. Loved the camo bedding.

This is an awesome lakeside resort next to Bowstring Lake. The owners are kind and accommodating. The cabins are rustic yet clean and well appointed. The rental boats will get you into the fish. They had a family activity and made pizza on Tuesday evening that was outstanding.

This place is tucked away nicely so you've got privacy & a beautiful view of the lake! The docks aren't great but they're useable & the bait tank was pretty gross! I'd definitely go again though!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeff Kaproth · Aug 2024

We just had a group of us up here, and we rented 3 cabins. The owners were wonderful, and even had some activities to keep our kids busy when the weather looked rainy. The setup on the lake for your boat was wonderful, and the cabins clean. If you can get Bob's pizza on Thursday, your in for a treat. Pool was clean and warm. Any request made was resolved immediately. Would highly recommend.
