I recently stayed at Grey Squirrel and it was a delightful experience! The cabin was charming and cozy, with comfortable beds and lovely linens. The property itself is beautifully landscaped, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. However, I had a couple of minor issues with maintenance that took away from the overall experience, but they were addressed promptly by the staff. All in all, I highly recommend this place for a fun and relaxing getaway!

I had a mixed experience during my stay. On one hand, the new ownership is clearly making improvements, and the grounds are beautiful with plenty of activities for families. On the other hand, my cabin had several issues that detracted from my overall enjoyment. I appreciated the attempts by some staff to help, but there were definitely moments where service fell short.

My recent stay at the resort started off quite frustrating due to a mix-up with cabin reservations and various maintenance issues, but some great staff members made an effort to resolve them. The scenery and cabin layout did help ease the experience overall, but there were several details that could be improved, particularly regarding the cleanliness and preparedness of the accommodations. Despite these issues, I can see potential for a better experience in the future.
