The whole experience was great from beginning to end. Although i communicated with the staff via text and email - there still were no issues. They were very helpful, professional, and pleasant. All the amenities were great! The cottage was fully stocked and immaculate. We are thinking about making this an annual trip gong forward. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice get away.

Illustrator Cottage was a quaint retreat. The vibe was retro, comfortable and perfectly coordinated. The resort had so much to offer in addition to our cottage. Boats, kayaks, swimming, game room, fishing dock, beach, pool and more! It was so close to everything. We couldn’t have asked for more!
Ready for our 30th anniversary dinner date! From flip flops to fancy (ish).

My kids and I loved the Illustrator Cottage! It's on the small size, but well laid out. The fold out kitchen table is a nice touch. Check-in couldn't have been easier. And the facilities ar Goshorn Lake were fantastic. We will definitely be back!

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!

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.

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.

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.
