I had a wonderful stay at Fairway Forest thanks to the amazing service provided by the staff. Cora Lee and Nicole at the front desk went above and beyond to accommodate my needs, offering helpful tips about the area and always greeting me with a warm smile. Moreover, Billie, the manager, was exceptionally kind and eager to assist, ensuring my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, the hospitality I experienced made my visit truly memorable, and I can’t wait to return!

The cabin was perfect! It was clean, actually very clean. I was impressed with the bathroom - all white and spotless. The appliances were are in working condition. The kitchen was stocked with clean dishes, drink ware, utensils etc. The view was spectacular. The woman who assisted with check in was helpful and informative. She kept in touch regularly by texting us at appropriate times. Check in and out was seem less, even though the office is not on the premises, it was not inconvenient. The only negative thing, is that you can hear the neighbors showering, flushing etc. it was not such a big deal unless you’re a light sleeper. It still didn’t bother us.
