Who knew a state park had a huge lodge? Beautiful setting on the lake and plenty to enjoy elsewhere in the park. And in the evening watch for deer on the side of the road that are so tame they barely startle. Highly recommend this nice park.

Our bath spout in our room was falling off the wall. The check in person was very unfriendly. However, the rooms are big and all face the lake, which has a lovely private balcony and is very peaceful. The hiking was wonderful but needs a few more painted signs . We lost the trail on 2 different hikes.

We stayed 2 nights at Joe Wheeler Resort. It's a cool place. The water is beautiful. The resort itself, the rooms need up keep!! The balcony area needed to have been cleaned or blown with a blower. The restaurant was OK, a little expensive for dinner and breakfast.

We stayed in a suite at the Lodge. It has a kitchenette with a dining table & chairs, mini fridge and microwave. Normal size kitchen sink and cupboards with some dishes and flatware. No cooking utensils. Since we had an end room, it had 2 balconies - one overlooking the lake and one overlooking the forest. We could sit inside the air conditioning and get the same view of the lake as the balcony. Downsides: the door to the adjoining room (locked) needs better soundproofing. The toilet is set for too short of a flush, so requires multiple flushes to do the job.

The rooms had some issues, nothing to serious though. The doors had a gap under them and the rooms had some chipped paint but overall I loved it. The location is so beautiful, and all the employees are very nice and helpful!

The most relaxing vacation we've had in years. Very quiet and the view from our room of the lake and marina was absolutely super. I could sit in our suite and look at the water all day. The restuarant was an added plus with smiling friendly wait staff. There is absolutely nothing negative i can say about our week stay at the resort.

Super rustic cabins, definitely historic. Just expect an old, old structure. Cabinet and doors don't close almost no utensils to cook with. Look, stove worked, refrigerator, worked, bathroom work, hot water and clean linens. Expect nothing more. Run down park boat ramp was unusable due to debris. Go below the dam and use that one.

First visit and we enjoyed our stay. The lodge is beautiful and unique. It seems a bit dated, but is clean and well maintained. The staff we encountered were all helpful and friendly. Would have no hesitation to stay there again.

We went for Valentine's Day and had a wonderful time. The restaurant is good and very busy. Of course we were there during storms rolling in but we sat on the balcony and watched them come in over the lake. Room was comfortable and very clean. If you get a chance to stay here I suggest you do. These are the views from our room- before and after the storms.

Came with the Rivertree church retreat. The rooms were nicer than I expected. The views are beautiful right off the water. The prime rib dinner buffet was fantastic and the serving staff was excellent. I will definitely return again.

It’s a great little get away. The staff at the front desk are always very nice and offer good information on the area. The rooms are pretty dated and due an update, as well as the surrounding property, but the rooms are spacious and all have a great view of the lake or pool and lake. Lots of wildlife outside at night and deer running across the road, so drive slowly. We love the pool. Bring your own food, there’s only one restaurant close and it’s not good.
