You have honest people working here! I was in a golf group that had just finished a three-day tournament. I left my sunglasses in the golf cart and had lunch with our group. Heading home about an hour later, I remember my sunglasses have been left behind. One of the cart guys turned them in to pro shop and I am pleased to share this good outcome with others.

My wife and I spent a single night here in Lodge #1. Amazing lake view!!! Peaceful and beautiful resort. A must stay if your traveling to or through Scottsboro, Alabama.

We recently stayed at one of the cottages and expected a little more than what we received for the money. Our room was clean but as the picture showed a small tv was around 18' feet away from sitting on the couch which was not ideal. There are little things that need to be updated like the age and condition of the deck. The level of comfort and convenience could have been much better with some little touches. Our view was absolutely beautiful and it was very peaceful except one night with a boat with a bright yellow light that was annoying. You must go to The Docks. Food and service was amazing. All we came in contact with were very nice and hospitable. Some little things and attention to detail would have made this a 5 star. We made friends with some squirrels that weren't too shy to come up on the deck as we sat outside. Would be come back? Absolutely. Nobody's perfect but improve your listings and what you have and don't have along with more pictures.

We have stayed in the cabins several times over the years and it has always been one of our favorite places to spend time with family. However this time I have noticed the cabin seems a little less maintain. We couldn't use charcoal grill because the bottom was rusted out, the picnic table was very unsteady so we were reluctant to eat outside, there was only one chair on screened in porch, the fully stocked kitchen as described was not fully stocked. We didn't have any mixing bowls, the one skillet was unusable and had not been washed from previous renters and had one pot, it was also unusable because it was so scratched and inside peeling. The dock had broke and rotten boards. That being said, ALL the staff are amazing, cabin was clean and we still had a relaxing time with family. We will continue to stay at Goosepond because of all the positive things we find at this location

My husband and I have been staying at Goosepond Campground for the past 15 years in our RV. We live 100 miles from the Campground, but we come and stay as often and as long as we can. Everyone is always so nice, so friendly and so helpful in every way. We leave our RV there year round and have never had anything stolen. I hope that everyone has a good experience as we have always had. Any time you are in the area, feel free to stop by for a visit. We are on Lot #313. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
