The good: My sister and her husband have stayed at the Lodge every summer for years, and talked me into bringing my kids to join them. We stayed for two weeknights in mid July. Rooms seemed clean and recently updated, but oddly no chairs. In general, the staff was friendly and helpful...until there was a problem. Golf carts were fun. We stopped to see a huge bear crossing the road and field while driving to a restaurant off of the resort. The bad: 100 degree weather during our stay. Indoor pool, splash zone, and mini golf were all closed for the entire stay. Pool at Lodge had no shade other than table umbrellas. Family pool was very warm...gross. Restaurant at the Lodge looked permanently closed, but was open. The bar, void of any liquor bottles, as well as the yellow caution tape near the entrance, helped this feel. Food at the Grill was low grade, tasteless, and soggy. Nearest shopping and meh restaurants are 20 minutes away. The ugly: My car was damaged by a spike protruding from a concrete parking space barrier as I pulled out of my spot. I reported the incident and was told I'd receive a call. This was 2 weeks ago, and I have yet to hear from anyone. I stayed past my checkout, and have called and left messages trying to talk with an authority. This is how guests are treated when there's a problem. Pathetic. What's really sad is that I'm now going to be fixing it myself for only $50. Nice work Blue Green.

Family time
The resort is set up very nice, the pools are relaxing and well maintained. The rooms are rather small not much extra space. Bathroom needed better cleaning a lot of hair behind the door and toliet. Game room was nice just needs a few newer games. We weren't told the restaurant wasn't open for breakfast during the week only on weekends. Also wasn't told about the 200.00 per room hold on your card and we booked 2 rooms so wasn't happy about that. The facility is nice and well maintained otherwise. Not much to do outside the resort or in the area.

We had a lovely time during our stay. We booked for a wedding nearby and only spent 2 nights but we want to bring our family and come back for a week! The staff was so friendly and helpful no matter who you spoke to. There is plenty of fun things to do on the property and we can't wait to return and explore it all!

We enjoyed our stay. Wendy was very friendly and helpful upon check in. She was attentive in hekping switch rooms due to noisey neighbors as well. Everything was clean. Beds were a little hard and sheets were scratchy. Vending machines were empty, but they kept a large container of ice water at the front lobby to refill our water bottles.

Adorable little cabin in the wilderness. Could have had a cleaner bathroom (the tub wouldn't drain due to excessive hair we had to clean out and hair on the counters and shower walls.

We enjoyed our stay, it was a very nice property. My only complaint would be that the room was much smaller than we expected, and there was no where to sit except on the bed.

Very friendly staff and beautiful setting. Small room was workable. Only accessible outlet to charge phone or iron was in the bathroom. Paper thin walls and ceiling allowed for everything to be heard. And I mean everything.

Potential but unfortunately it has not reach its p
Tv did not work and upon calling the front desk, I was told it is an ongoing problem and would likely not be fixed during my stay. We could hear every step the people above us took, we could hear the people next door making noises that sounded like they were having sex. There was vacuuming going on outside of our door at 10pm. There is no restaurant in the lodge but there is a General Store/deli on sight. They are open until 8pm however we arrived at 7:15om and could only get chicken fingers or pizza. They had shut down the grill early. Nice property but the lodge room we were in was not special at all. I spoke to the manager and he was very kind. He comped me one night of our stay. That was very king and appreciated.

Nice property, small rooms
The rooms with one queen bed are small and somewhat cramped. They are, however, clean. The tavern on the property has been closed since COVID, and there are no immediate plans to reopen it. For food, go the the general store (breakfast there was limited, but good), or better yet go into Gordonsville.
