We enjoyed our stay, it was a very nice property. My only complaint would be that the room was much smaller than we expected, and there was no where to sit except on the bed.

We enjoyed our stay. Wendy was very friendly and helpful upon check in. She was attentive in hekping switch rooms due to noisey neighbors as well. Everything was clean. Beds were a little hard and sheets were scratchy. Vending machines were empty, but they kept a large container of ice water at the front lobby to refill our water bottles.

Nice property, small rooms

The rooms with one queen bed are small and somewhat cramped. They are, however, clean. The tavern on the property has been closed since COVID, and there are no immediate plans to reopen it. For food, go the the general store (breakfast there was limited, but good), or better yet go into Gordonsville.

Potential but unfortunately it has not reach its p

Tv did not work and upon calling the front desk, I was told it is an ongoing problem and would likely not be fixed during my stay. We could hear every step the people above us took, we could hear the people next door making noises that sounded like they were having sex. There was vacuuming going on outside of our door at 10pm. There is no restaurant in the lodge but there is a General Store/deli on sight. They are open until 8pm however we arrived at 7:15om and could only get chicken fingers or pizza. They had shut down the grill early. Nice property but the lodge room we were in was not special at all. I spoke to the manager and he was very kind. He comped me one night of our stay. That was very king and appreciated.

It was a lodge and it was picturesque on water and all around. It was pastures full of beautiful horses. The rooms were really small but they worked and the one thing that I was surprised is when I paid through Expedia I thought I was paid 100% but when I got there, they charge a $25 per day resort fee. Because they also have an RV and cabins and they have a playground basketball court things like that so I guess they charge a resort fee personally it should just be part of the rental so you’re not getting any surprise charges when you get there, otherwise it was lovely and I would actually consider going back there.

The property was very nice. When we checked in, we weren’t told about any amenities or where anything was, we had to explore ourselves to find everything. Which was ok, we just were confused about a few things. The staff was friendly, a man at the front desk at check-in, David, was a little rude and condescending but wasn’t outright disrespectful. We’d stay there again, just will be avoiding David 😂

I have stayed at this facility four times over the last three years and never have I seen the restaurant open. This is not good since they took the microwaves out of the rooms. Also someone from the hotel came to my room at approx. 8:00pm stating I needed to move my car because of pending construction which was happening right outside my window. Very noisy stay. Usually, my stays there are stellar, this time was disappointing.

The cabin that was given to us initially was extremely difficult to locate and had 123 steps down a very steep area in order to reach the cabin we had a traveler with us who had an ankle boot recently placed and she was unable to walk down the steps safely. I asked for another cabin and was given one with less steps but the staff didn’t seem very concerned and I would not stay in those cabins again due to safety concerns related to the steps and the difficulty getting bags into and out of the cabin.

The cabin i book was so gross i bought a vacuum and filled the bucket up 3 times on half the cabin. So mant spider webs on furniture. A dead mouse in a rat trap under the fridge stinkin the entire cabin up on day 2. Not to mention about 30 steps for 1 single mom and 5 children. (1 being 16 months, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, 9yrs and 11yrs) i complained multiple times the first 2 days nobody came to fix the issues and i was told i could not switch to a cabin with less stairs because older people request thos cabins. Totally dismissed the nasty conditions. BTW i booked 3 separate weeks in this cabin over $4800 spent. Everything else here is perfect though.

This is one of the best properties I have ever stayed at. We stayed at the lodge. It has been completely updated, but the rooms are still very small. The room was functional though. There was a refrigerator, but no microwave. There was a microwave to use down the hall. There are no bad views from the lodge as far as I could tell. We woke every morning to a view of the horses grazing in the pasture. There is a restaurant and a bar downstairs, a game room, indoor and outdoor pools, firepit, marina, Store with food to order, sundries, wine and beer, Putt Putt, etc., etc., etc..
