    a plate of food on a table
    Jay D.

    I was looking somewhere for my 80 year old mother and I to eat while we were visiting Phelps which is mom's childhood home and we heard about this Sunday fried chicken buffet and we as southerners were skeptical about eating fried chicken so far north. So you come in and they get your drinks and you help yourself to the small salad bar which was average. I had read several raving reviews about how fresh the salad bar ingredients were which is not accurate. Pretty much everything was from a bag or a container. But it was edible. Then we got the broccoli soup which was okay. Would have been better if it were hot. But who cares I came for the fried chicken and it didn't disappoint. The all you can eat is not buffet style but brought to you by the plate. We paid extra for all white meat. And it was delicious. Served with curly fries which were good but mashed potatoes and gravy would have been better. They also gave a piece of corn on the Cobb which I didn't eat but my mom liked it. The place was beautiful and the view of the water was nice. Service was great however I wasn't a fan of them utilizing their small children to parade around the room collecting dirty plates and even stocking the salad bar. I'd be perfectly fine with that if we were not in the middle of a deadly pandemic and obviously children that young not eligible for a vaccine. Pretty careless to do that. If they had done the buffet again on Monday night we would have been the first in line! 5 stars for the chicken and 2.5 stars for the salad bar. Price was very reasonable.

    All you can eat chicken and fish!

    Everything I am looking for and nothing I'm not. The Hillside has plenty of great food and excellent service that supports a breathtaking view. If you're from here or even passing through, you can tell there isn't a heck of a lot of choices around. We are lucky to have the Hillside! They know how to make one hell of an old fashioned to match my favorite all you can eat chicken and fish. We always end up bringing the family here and it brings smiles all around.

    The group that I've gone fishing with the last couple of years have been coming here for the last…read more10-15 years. This in my second time here with this group and the new owners running it, and will be our last. One big issue was, there weren't enough boat slips for all the patrons who brought boats! When we arrived on Sunday, we had 3 boats in our party, Nick (Manager) said that there wouldn't be an issue because they were putting in more slips (piers) on Tuesday. Well, that didn't happen because of the Duck Lice and the guys got "Lake Itch." Speaking with a couple of previous resort owners, those should have been in April/May before the Duck Lice came in season. With the boat slips, fisherman gentleman's agreement, when you go out on the water, you leave your tie lines on the pier, designating your spot, when we went out for the day, we came back and someone had taken our spot. It wasn't a serious altercation but words were exchanged. Should never have gotten to that if the piers were installed. There were not enough slips for all those who brought boats. The cabins are not quite suited for 4 adults. The cabins we stayed were 2 bedrooms. One bedroom had a queen bed and the other had 2 bunk beds, one of which were built in the size of the catacombs', barely room for a full-size adult. Because of the bunks, one of our guys slept on a cot he brought. There is no AC or ceiling fans fortunately we brought our own fans. It did get warm in the cabins. The bathtubs had good pressure but a very slippery bottom. They did supply towels which were a plus, some resorts of this nature do not. Ownership requires that everything be cleaned (kitchen) and tenants will remove all bed linens and towels and place in the sacks supplied. I have stayed in quite a few hotels during the pandemic and NEVER was I required to take down my own linens. Obviously, there is lack of qualified maid staff that the renters are required to clean the kitchen. When we arrived, some of the dishes on the shelf were dirty, dirty flatware put away as well as a frying pan. The deck which these cabins shared had some soft boards which could be a safety issue as well as a railing on one side that was ready to fall over. We made note amongst ourselves to stay clear. The grills were dirty and not in the best shape. When we arrived on Sunday, the garbage and recycling were full. On Wednesday, only the recycling was taken. Wasn't until Saturday that both gondolas were emptied. On the plus side the POV store was open this year and I was impressed with the basics available for sale and at fair price...but nobody was minding the store. We wanted a couple items and had to call to get someone so we could pay. I didn't review last year because their ownership was in its infancy and there were requests by the owner that we thought were unorthodox but related to Covid. It seems like not much has changed, except last year, all the piers were in when we arrived. The guys that have been coming here for years said this was much better before when Tom owned and ran. We all agreed that this was our last stay here, not to return.

    Spent some time this summer at Coady's Point of View and stayed in an awesome 1940's-50's RV. Had a…read moregreat time fishing and enjoying the great outdoors.

    This cabin and owner was a total joke and here is why…read more.. I totally forgot to take a picture of the inside so you can see the posting of pricing and how this owner charges for everything I mean EVERYTHING. 1 cabin that was advertised to us was the cabin in front of the lake, bigger cabin and with a view to the lake well that is so not what we got and from experiences renting cabins this was horrible. 2 we got the smallest cabin of all and not the one that was presented to us, no lake view, there was lake access which was walking distance but no lake view from back patio like it was advertised. 3 the owner is a polish gentleman which kept checking on us constantly and we felt like we couldn't enjoy our stay because this guy kept constantly harrasing and bugging out peace. 4 he charged 75 extra for cleaning, but cleaning what? When we left everything nice and clean, 20 for 2 towels so bring your own, 75 for pet, 5 for 2 pieces of wood if you want fire lol, I mean this guy is a total joke, if you want to stay in the area look at the other resorts near by but not there. Will not come back for sure.

    Really I am in shock. This guy reply to my wife's review with nothing but lies. First we all were…read morePolish besides my wife. We are all in late 30s and 40s. We had one tiny bluetooth speaker that could not disturb anyone's peace. Neighbors could not reports on us because we were with them cooking together and BBQ. We chose that place for peace. And only person disturbing it was the owner checking on us like we were planning to burn the house. We did nothing but fishing cooking and power walks. This guy is full of himself and extremely unprofessional. Also been camping and renting places for many years. Never seen anyone charging people for everything like this guy. Really disappointing. I will spread the word to Polish community in Chicago area Witch is his mane customer mostlikely.
