Two wash cloths, one dish towel, low on cookware without teflon scratches, no serving/mixing bowls, 3 blenders, stiff beds, hot silo, cold basement black gunk clogging bath sink spout, good sauna, good layout, no power on the outdoor tiki bar with fridge/icemaker, hot tub nice, golf simulator nice for righthanders, sofas well worn, billiards nice, beanbag game good. It’s better as a frat house than for retirees. No bedroom on main level.

Great for family wedding

We had a family wedding at Devils Head Resort. This property was great to be able to hang out with everyone. There are lots of sleeping options and it accommodated our group well. I would suggest bringing your own pillows and blankets if it’s cold, there were no comforters on any beds.
