Friendly staff all around, well kept property and beautiful view. Great options for family activities all around. Cottage had everything we needed, and then some.
Cabins were very clean, modern, and pleasant. Our family enjoyed our stay and we will be back.

The cabins were the perfect place to stay by the beach. Had free bikes, walking trails, lake to kayak, swimming pool and after a long day on the beach go back to the quiet peaceful cabin. Love this place!

Hands down one of the most relaxing and activity filled places to visit! Our cabin was more than we expected…it had everything we needed and it was squeaky clean. The only issue I had was the bed wasn’t as comfortable as I would have liked (I love my bed at home). Last but not least, it is close to everything yet secluded. We will definitely return in the future!!!!

This was such and amazing stay! We had no idea going in how absolutely gorgeous the cabins would be! They are so clean and beautifully decorated! The AC is so nice with the hot weather. The state park is stunning, and with the free bike rentals we got to explore so much of it! Would highly recommend!

Great family cabin
We stayed at the family woodside cabin and it was great! Two bedrooms and pull out couch in the living room was big enough for our family of 5. Loved the large pool and trails. Lots of wildlife, alligators, owls, sharks, snakes and a nature center located near the pool.
Very nice cabin on the lake with a wonderful view. There is alot to do at the park. Free bike rentals and lots of trails. It was just too hot and humid for us to enjoy most of it.
