Reviewer Comments:
This was our third time renting at Grand Pines. We rented seven months ahead of our vacation. We spend more than $10,000 to rent three cabins for a week. For what we got, it was VERY expensive. Cabin amenities were old and worn. No cabin cleaning at all during the week other than garbage was picked up daily (which was great). Although we had a two-bedroom and 2 three-bedroom cabins, they were very small - limited eating space and kitchens were TINY. Each cabin was adorned with Christmas lights around the outside, which remained on all night (we couldn’t shut off). This made every bedroom glow. The cabins we rented were VERY close together in fact two of our cabins were actually connected to one another - not something we expected given a +$3000 a week charge. Thankfully we knew the people in the cabin - otherwise this would have been a really terrible experience. There was no yard space for yard games and the bonfire pit was on a hill making half the chairs feel like you were going to roll forward and the other half feel like you were going to roll backwards. The pontoons ran well and were clean. Each of our three cabins came with a Pontoon - although we only needed two Pontoons and yet we had to pay $360 extra for one paddle board and kayak for the week. Perhaps give renters the options of the Pontoon or the paddle board/kayak? Unfortunately due to cost and experience we will look at alternative to Grand Pines for Summer 2020 gathering.
