This was a very nice experience. Any recommendations come from my personal situation rather than anything that was done poorly. For example, the furniture was not made for folks with bad knees and the bed was a bit too soft for my liking but those are personal things. I would recommend a small rug outside of the bed to wipe your feet on before getting into the bed. My feet seemed to carry a lot of dust/sand into the bed with them.

The property was okay, the online pictures make it appear to be larger than it is. The location met our needs. Problems - The TV only worked about 1% of the time. The Wi-Fi is not strong enough so the TV just was buffering most of the time. The instructions on how to work the heating system were not good. We had to have someone come to the property to get it running. The batteries in the remotes to work the heating system were almost dead. Also there was a infestation of bugs in the kitchen on the counter top and the stove.The web site doesn't explain that the "heated" pool would not be available that time of the year.It's understandable that it would not, but that should be be stated on the property description. Thank you.

Great property in an amazing location

We really enjoyed our stay. Loved having the pool and the lake. The pool was warm which I appreciate so much. We took advantage of the kayaks and sand toys at the lake. The cottage had everything one could need. Loved sitting in the screened in porch at night playing games. One thing I really appreciate were all the hooks. Those are so important for beach trips. Beds were decent. The couch could use a cleaning but that and I wish check out was 10:30 or 11 are my only complaints. But those are minor. Would definitely book this place again.

So happy to be back at Goshorn Lake

I love this resort. I used to bring my children each summer when they were small. It's a lovely resort and everyone is very friendly. The Illustrator cabin was perfect for just the 2 of us. Cute and cozy. We'll definitely be back!

brief getaway

Our burned out lightbulbs were replaced next day and dead batteries replaced for the heat pump remote. Those were the most complicated things that occurred. Otherwise, we relaxed in the evening and showered and slept. The space next to the beds is very narrow and would be nicer if there were a way to enlarge it, but otherwise, it was cute and the setting charming.

Great getaway

More amenities in the house than I expected The fishing, kayaking, swimming, basketball and other activities there were just what we needed to get off of electronics and disconnect. My kids didn't even ask to turn on the TV I'd would bring extra blankets next time, otherwise, great time and wish we had a longer stay. Looking forward to doing it again

Perfect location

Our family loved the amenities at Goshorn Lake Resort with easy access to the lake/water sports and the pool. Our only negatives about the cottage were some areas that could use cleaning (cobwebs in corners, and dirty sheets on the pull-our couch). There were no pillowcases for the pillows to be used on the pullout couch. We also wish the cottage offered a couple of beach towels.
