    Served us well! 5/5…read more Stayed Jan 2018 Darlene T. Pretty inside & out, soothing woodsy setting w/ the amazingly perfect windows to enjoy it. Subdued, tasteful, mostly utilitarian decorating instead of overload you see in some cabins or B&Bs. Hosts literally thought of EVERYTHING you might need, name it. An extremely well-stocked kitchen & bathroom & shockingly generous supply of edibles/drinkables/goodies. We used the chiminea (fat sticks easily gleaned from yard to feed it) & also the little grill, nice. Enjoyed the whimsical yard art, again, liked their tastes. There was even a bottle tree outside to trap bad spirits, must be doing its job, lol. Reception for Wi-Fi and cell good. There were CDs & DVDs & a player but the TV also had cable, so 7 channels, I think, hope you like old Westerns & Forensic Files reruns, we did. Of the few DVDS they had, one was an older fave of ours, The Good Girl, so great to see again. Was cool, rainy weekend so we didn't walk afield, maybe next time but then next time might order up another rainy weekend, works for us. A few times we heard a braying donkey neighbor some distance, didn't bother us, made up for not hearing or seeing much of the wildlife other reviewers talked about. Did see birds, squirrels and an armadillo. When I say hosts thought of everything, I mean it, no, really, you'll find every single little thing you'd ever need, plus books to read (finished one from home and left it & a magazine for the stack) & cabin had a binder of instructions about anything & everything inside the place (check it out, we found lots of crucial info in there) plus a roundup of local things to do, nice mentions of the very fine Caldwell Zoo & the Tyler State Park. We welcomed guidance on how to start shower (pull ring down from faucet, aha!). If I had to say anything remotely negative it's that the steep stairs challenged me as I'm recovering from an injury. But the bed at the top made up for it. What else. Well, it was just nearly too perfect & afraid we might have trouble booking it during later, finer weather. We'd gone there for the singer-songwriter series, this one for the insanely talented Jeff Black who performed at the Old Firehouse. We had to skip out of the performance halfway through & head home early, ever-on-call husband had sudden work obligation pop up so we didn't get all the good out of Edom, our cabin & the concert, but we still left happy. Thx to you, Mr/Mr W

    We stayed here for one night and it was the BEST experience of my life! The most perfect cozy cabin…read morefor a getaway! Highly recommend. We will be coming here time and time again!

    Nice facility. Clean, grounds are well kept and the staff was friendly and helpful. Easy to book…read moreonline. As others have mentioned, it's a little pricey given the sites aren't full=service, but still a good value with the location and other amenities. Shower facilities were very clean. Only real negative is the that the majority of sites--especially lake front--are super not level, even though the website says they are all level. First time our automatic levelers wouldn't work. Had to use a total of 20 leveler blocks to get the back end of our 25' RV level. There are a few level spots, but you can't tell from the website. Quite misleading. We'll go back but only if we can get into one of the few level spots we found.

    Beautiful campground, very clean and well maintained right on Tyler Lake. Facilities are…read morewonderful, you can rent boats, kayaks, golf carts and bikes. Fishing is easy right off the center platform and the little store has minnows, worms, etc... everything you need!! Rv spots have water and electric, & really large nice fire pits. Staff are very friendly and responsive. They have Taco Tuesday (taco truck) with several taco and burrito options ( tacos were very good!) and with purchase of a meal you get a free margarita! There are fully furnished cabins to rent, and they even have glamping tents with air conditioning! Cabins and glamping sites are kinda spendy, but with all the amenities available, the beautiful grounds and really nice and helpful staff, its a good value for sure!

    Very disappointed for the price paid during first Monday…read more Dog poo and cigarette buds left in the fire pit of our friends rv spot. Other than that, resort is nice...

    This is a good basic resort for a family stay, as there are plenty of things to keep all ages busy…read morefor a while! Other than the roads inside the resort having huge potholes (had to reorganize my RV cabinets and shelves from the rickety bumps), the spots were easy to park in and the length of the parking spot will accommodate large RVs The picnic tables at most of the RV spots need to be replaced! They are made out of wood and have weathered badly, causing the seats to be severely bowed. We were a bit uncertain about the strength of the seats so we didn't use the tables. The "Lodge" had employees available 24 hours a day which is good in case of an emergency, etc. I did ask them about renting a go-cart, as I had my disabled grandmother with me; they promised to call me back about renting a golf cart but after several more calls and visits to the Lodge, nobody ever returned my communication attempts. The little general store is convenient, and it isn't overpriced as one might expect. Be sure to bring what you need, if possible, as the selection is very limited. They carry bait but were sold out both times I checked. Purchases may be charged to your campsite. There is a small gated dog park if you bring along your pooch. I am glad I didn't bring mine, though, as the space needed to be mowed badly and my little 5-pound Toy Pomeranian would have been lost in the weeds. The pond is nice for fishing. Beware of the many turtles; they will chomp on your hooks constantly! Bring your own lanterns for nighttime fishing. If some basic improvements and maintenance were implemented, this RV resort would be better. Check in by 9pm; check out by Noon or pay a $20 late checkout fee. After 2pm, you're paying for another night at the campsite.

    DO NOT STAY HERE! The owner is very difficult to work with and will keep your deposit no matter…read morewhat. The grounds keeper was super friendly, but that didn't do us much good. We rented several of the houses for a conference here in summer 2015. Right off the bat, it seemed nice; however, many things soon went wrong. First, the AC wasn't working in the main house where we were holding our meetings for the conference and where many people were sleeping. The grounds keeper was super friendly and attentive. She came and "fixed" it, but it only worked well momentarily. The rest of the week it was hardly cooling the place down. The fridge and freezer stopped working in the main house also where we kept all of our food (good thing we realized it, otherwise our food would've spoiled). We tried to be good guests and wash the dish towels we soiled; however, the washer wouldn't drain after many, many tries. None of these issues were our fault, but were due to faulty, ancient appliances. Still, we tried to keep a good attitude and "make the most of it." After all, the show must go on. Upon departing the grounds, everyone cleaned each house we occupied very well and left everything as we found it upon arrival. We even had a few people walk through each house afterwards to double check. To our surprise, the owner claimed half of our deposit. We asked her for her reasoning. She could not give us much explanation other than a few plates that were left by the pool, which we tried to explain were not ours. If anything, we should have not only received our full deposit back but also a discount for all the trouble we experienced. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. I repeat, DO NOT stay here. P.S. The only other review on here to date is by Mary Ellen, the owner herself, so I'd disregard it, if I were you.
