" The breakfast was wonderful. Eggs, sausage, hot and cold biscuits, gravy, etc..
The pool area inside was wonderful too. A great hot tub, and indoor pool with lots of room for the kids and adults. And to top this all off this place is on the pigeon River where you can go out and sit and watch the ducks and the geese and the burbling water. This place has it all. "
"Darsel was phenomenal. I enjoyed seeing her everyday. She was so friendly and gave good feedback on where to go and tips to avoid traffic. I definitely plan to com3 back especially to visit her. "
"Great atrium garden views from the 3rd floor! We stayed in the Cascades section and slept with our balcony door open to fall asleep to the sound of the water. It was absolutely fantastic! Even though it’s quite busy, the waterfall drowns out the other noise. Can’t wait to come back. "
"I stayed on this property 11/10-11/11/25 with 2 friends. From the moment we stepped on the property we were greeted with friend and helpful staff. The room was spacious, beautiful and had a refrigerator and keurig in our room. Ice and microwaves were down the hallway by the elevators. We dined at the 5 o’clock somewhere bar and grill. I had calamari and coconut shrimp and of course a top shelf margarita served in a cute green blender souvenir cup! Food and service with Christine was fabulous!
When we checked out my friend left a very expensive heating pad in our room. I called the resort and spoke to the head of housekeeping, Todd, who located it and held it for us until we returned on 11/13/25. Loved this staff and stay!"
