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.

Perfect Location

This resort was very well maintained and offered a pool and private access to Goshorn Lake. The stay in Cottage 10 was great. It was very cozy and comfortable, and it was in a great location close to downtown.

Pretty disappointed with the illustrator cottage

Place was filthy. Baseboards in the entire cottage are disgusting. There was a pubic hair in the bathroom on the baseboard. Crumbs on the kitchen counter. It was never cleaned before we got there. Silverware in kitchen was also disgusting. Had to wash everything before I used it. Internet suckedPull out bed was extremely uncomfortable. Felt like my feet were above my head. Large urine stain on the mattress.No extra blankets in the cottage. It was 55 this morning.Amenities were nonexistent.First morning, we went to the beach, we got kicked off because they were regrading the sand. Would have been nice to know about this beforehand.Terrible value for paying over 300 per night. I would not come back nor would I ever recommend this to anybody I know. Very disappointing to work all year for my vacation and come to find this.The beach and the pool were the only positives for our stay.Thanks, Miles

Illustrator Cottage

The property was okay, the online pictures make it appear to be larger than it is. The location met our needs. Problems - The TV only worked about 1% of the time. The Wi-Fi is not strong enough so the TV just was buffering most of the time. The instructions on how to work the heating system were not good. We had to have someone come to the property to get it running. The batteries in the remotes to work the heating system were almost dead. Also there was a infestation of bugs in the kitchen on the counter top and the stove.The web site doesn't explain that the "heated" pool would not be available that time of the year.It's understandable that it would not, but that should be be stated on the property description. Thank you.

Wonderfull family oriented group of charming cottages. Park right at your front door. A short walk to a private beach on a picturesque 27 acre lake. Nice pool. Basketball court. Sand volleyball. Quiet. Relaxing.

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.

brief getaway

Our burned out lightbulbs were replaced next day and dead batteries replaced for the heat pump remote. Those were the most complicated things that occurred. Otherwise, we relaxed in the evening and showered and slept. The space next to the beds is very narrow and would be nicer if there were a way to enlarge it, but otherwise, it was cute and the setting charming.

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.

So happy to be back at Goshorn Lake

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!
