Our experience at the resort was quite mixed. While the views of the frozen lake were breathtaking and the location was perfectly situated for winter activities, the ongoing construction and maintenance issues really dampened our stay. The unit we stayed in was spacious, but unfortunately, it showed signs of neglect. Overall, it had potential but needs significant attention to truly make it a welcoming retreat.

The unit was large and comfortable with nice views of the lake, but it had maintenance issues like broken window seals and unhinged drapery rods that detracted from the experience.

While there were amenities like fishing and paddle boating available on the lake, the indoor pool was closed for repairs, which was disappointing.

My stay at the resort was pleasant overall, with a mix of positives and a few drawbacks. The rooms were spacious and clean, which made for a comfortable stay, and the scenic views of the mountains were a definite highlight. However, there were some issues with the amenities, especially with the Wi-Fi and the state of the bathroom fixtures. Despite the renovations taking place, the property has great potential once updated.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great for getting around to local spots like Banner Elk and Boone, and there were plenty of activities for kids. However, the room was outdated and uncomfortable, and there were some safety concerns due to the bathroom design. Management could definitely use some improvement in communication and follow-up as well.

Our stay had its ups and downs. On the bright side, the resort offers plenty of activities for families and the rooms are spacious and well-equipped. However, we were disappointed with the maintenance of the property as there was constant construction during our visit, and it was not the peaceful getaway we were hoping for.

The resort is situated in a stunning location, surrounded by beautiful mountain views and close to amenities like Food Lion and various attractions. The units offer a clean and spacious experience, but there are significant issues with outdated furniture that really take away from the overall comfort. Additionally, the lack of a swimming pool along with some unfulfilled requests during our stay were frustrating, but the resort has great outdoor activities available.
