Our family stayed at Mystic village last week. We had two units next to each other. The staff was amazing and the overall resort exceeded our expectations. Loved the bar and restaurant which was overlooking the river. We had several day trips and the resort coordinated for us. Pool area was nice after a long day of touring.
