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!!!!

It was amazing! The cabin itself was so beautiful and clean. Other than having to buy some things to actually cook, it was fully stocked with everything we needed. Not to mention the view outside! The lake was a stunning view. We even got to see alligators, right outside our cabin just swimming around in the lake. Everything was relatively easy to find and very accessible to the cabin with only a short drive or walk. I look forward to returning in the future!

Loved the layout and location. I actually used the shareable bike one morning. All in all the only concern and I wouldn't say that we were concerned too much, was the little tiny bugs. Not sure if that's an Alabama thing or maybe pest control could be made aware.

This the most beautiful and serene little spot to vacation. The cabin was perfect and just as described. Check in was easy as was communication. Felt like the ultimate “glamping” experience. The cabins are gated so it felt very safe and the lake is beautiful. We saw lots of wildlife and biked around the lake. The beach is a bit further than we anticipated but it is just a short drive away. Bed rooms were a good size and all had smart tvs including the bunk room. We were very pleased with our stay and hope to return in the future.

Best kept secret amazing place to stay.

Check in was easy and amazing the lady Mrs Amy is simply a delight to speak with and so helpful! The cabin was beautiful and perfect for us! The lake was beautiful and we had an amazing time there can't wait to go back next year! Plus was the laundry room at the cabin itself so I could do our laundry while there and not have a bunch to do when we got back they gave us an itinerary of what they had going on at Gulf State Park which was really nice the pool was about a 6 minute drive away which is not bad it is pretty secluded the only ones allowed at the pool is the ones at the cabin and at the RV Park it was really nice the parking pass also paid for being at the beach parking so that was extremely welcomed and the ocean was beautiful although when we went I mean they were a bunch of jellies and you had to watch out because of all the hurricanes that have been through but it was amazing it was beautiful and only like a 8-9 min drive, for people that are going I really suggest this place I highly suggest this place I also highly suggest eating at Lambert's that was enough food for 2 days for all of us.

Our cabin was beautiful as well as the view of the lake. We loved having our own quiet space that was no more than 20 minutes from all the attractions. Walmart was 5 minutes away allowing us to make lots of meals to avoid spending a fortune going out to eat. The parking pass for the beach was great. We also loved the pool. It was a bit too hot to go biking, but if we ever come when it’s cooler, we would love to take advantage of the free bikes to explore Gulf State Park even more. We had plenty of room and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you!!
