The reception center has went way down hill. No bait except worms in a fridge. And all the shelves with options are gon and there is 1 small cookie stand. Ladies working there were wonderful and polite
Lorri Briggs
Beautiful, cozy cabin, just what I needed! Staff was so incredibly helpful before and after my arrival. Very accommodating. Very knowledgeable about the army base and information I needed for there. I would choose to stay here anytime I would be in the area.

Great place to get away and still be close to base and downtown Columbus. Clean, reasonable, and nice! The staff (Sarah and Deborah) were amazing. Larry, maintenance guy was super fun and fast to respond to anything you need. Highly recommend! Would stay again!

My biggest issue is that my 3 year old had a wart show up on her foot 2 days after spending 3 days at the camp and using the pool, splash pad, and shower in the unit (we wore shoes to use the bathroom at the pool) and in less than 2 weeks, that one wart has turned into 3, which is a clear indication she has been infected with HPV. Since we never leave the house except to go on that vacation, the only logical conclusion is that it happened here and their facility is not clean. I also had a burn on my finger from a few days before we left on vacation but was mostly healed but it’s also now a wart, so I was also infected with HPV. Beds are extremely uncomfortable. They also advertise the ability to sleep 8 people and that’s what we reserved and paid for but our executive chalet only had accommodations for 6 people. WiFi is spotty and unreliable. It’s there, but unreliable. You are expected to sweep before you leave and it’s clear with how dirty the floor was - our socks were turning black - that the housekeeper does not sweep or mop between guests. You also have to take out your own trash, so be prepared for that.
