“Felt more like camping...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

Options are very, VERY limited in St Cloud. VERY limited. There are only a handful of places to stay and eateries and literally nothing to do there. We went to visit friends. I think I would have had a better time pitching a tent in their yard.

People were really nice, place was clean but rather unwelcoming. Bare bones, no frills at all accommodations. Building is made from concrete block walls and tile floor. The bathroom shower curtain wasn't anywhere near long enough and not realizing this, the bathroom floor was flooded and it ran into the room. Good thing it's all tile.

The beds were horribly hard and uncomfortable. This is important to me, as I rent a room to SLEEP. Without a doubt the worst bed I have ever laid in. Every single morning we were woke up to ridiculous noise outside the room. Since the rooms are so hard and hollow, it echoed as well. Between the leaf blowing and the pressure washing, there was no sleeping in, ever. I guess since they have a "you book it, you bought it' no refund policy, you're stuck unless you want to eat your money. There was no need to use such loud equipment that early in the morning.

If you're looking for a cheap place on a lake to experience the great outdoors,, this is the place for you. If you want pay per view, carpet, a comfy bed and quiet, go somewhere else.

“Beautiful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

people found this review helpful

If you are looking for some peace and tranquility during your vacation, not to mention a place that does not drain the wallet, this is the one for you. Situated on a beautiful lake, the rooms are extremely clean, provide the basic amentities (tv,cable,wireless,refrigerator,microwave,iron/ironing board,room a/c unit) as well as a cafe on premise where meals are fresh, hot and served with a smile. Cafe opens 7 days during the winter (after all, it's season in FL) but reverts to Thur-Sun during the summer months. The locals know good when they taste it as it seems to be the breakfast, lunch and dinner place to go to regardless of what time of year it is. The staff is super friendly and you almost feel as if they are an extended part of your family, doing everything within their power to make sure your stay is comfortable. Suggest having transportation to get around though as this is not within walking distance to anything. Rates run from 42 - 72 dollars a night, which is great, especially for those looking to visit Disney but would rather spend their money at the parks than getting a fancy hotel room.
