Needs a face lift
Needs serious updating. Had to hang something on the bathroom entrance as I hit my head the entrance is less than six feet. I'm 6ft 2 200 lbs and barley fit in the shower. If you are a larger person good luck. The cabin was clean. Location to the water very nice.

Fantastic! All we hoped for and more.
This is one of the best vacations we ever took! The cabin at Alderwood Resort was lovely and the area spectacular. Though we heard that we missed the "peak" season for fall colors, we were not disappointed by the foliage which was still very vibrant. The amenities of the cabin were perfect for my husband and I. The peaceful, serenity afforded by the area is intoxicating. We loved sitting by an open fire, riding bikes, paddling the canoe as we explored the lake, reading, relaxing, cooking most of our own meals & just simply enjoying the peacefulness. The lack of a TV was not a problem for us, but might be considered if you bring kids & they aren't so understanding. It absolutely fosters family time. Becca provides all you could want, and for the rare "special request", was so responsive and prompt. The extra little things, like plenty of firewood, free bike usage, books/games, bar-b-que grill/charcoal, canoe, etc. really made for a worry-free trip. As we flew in from New Orleans limiting what we could carry, Becca was even kind enough to provide us w/towels and life preservers. We are definitely planning on return visits!

A Magical Place
It was amazing. We loved it. Incredibly well-maintained and well-stocked, and clean. It was a pleasureful getaway, even with two young, restless children in tow on a rainy day, and a wife off shooting a wedding nearby. I hope to be back for a more extended stay next year.
