1st time staying there but it won't be the last. Everything is super clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. The property is beautiful and had plenty of activities. Rented a golf cart for a day to explore the property and wasn't disappointed.

Worth it! Reasonable pricing for activities. Great for family get togethers. A rememberable bonding trip made possible by the accommodations provided. We had the deluxe cabin, and even though the fireplace was not working, it was a great experience.

We had a lovely time during our stay. We booked for a wedding nearby and only spent 2 nights but we want to bring our family and come back for a week! The staff was so friendly and helpful no matter who you spoke to. There is plenty of fun things to do on the property and we can't wait to return and explore it all!

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 😂

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.

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..

Family time

The resort is set up very nice, the pools are relaxing and well maintained. The rooms are rather small not much extra space. Bathroom needed better cleaning a lot of hair behind the door and toliet. Game room was nice just needs a few newer games. We weren't told the restaurant wasn't open for breakfast during the week only on weekends. Also wasn't told about the 200.00 per room hold on your card and we booked 2 rooms so wasn't happy about that. The facility is nice and well maintained otherwise. Not much to do outside the resort or in the area.

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.
