We had an amazing time during our four-night stay at the Garden View Apartment! The views from the hilltop are just gorgeous, and the property is conveniently close to town. The kids loved all the activities, especially the fire pit for s'mores and the swimming pool. We were really appreciative of the helpfulness of the staff. There's no doubt we’re looking forward to returning soon!

Our stay at this resort was truly delightful! The atmosphere was vibrant, perfect for our family reunion with various activities to keep everyone entertained. The spacious accommodations allowed for comfortable gatherings, and the outdoor picnic shelter was ideal for games and sunset viewing. However, while the amenities are plentiful, making reservations for peak activities can be a bit challenging during busy times.

We had an incredible weekend getaway at LeFevre! The stunning views and the overall tranquility of the property made it a fantastic choice for us. While the room was a bit tight for our family of four, the hospitality from the staff more than made up for it. The included breakfast was a nice touch, but the late smoky air flow scenario was slightly inconvenient. Overall, it was a great experience with amazing value for the price.

I had a lovely long weekend getaway at this resort. The room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, featuring a queen bed and a large jetted tub, which was a nice touch. However, we had difficulty getting the fireplace going due to wet wood, and the breakfast options were quite basic. Plus, the noise from the floor above was a bit distracting. Overall, it was a relaxing experience, but some improvements could be made.

Our stay at LeFevre Inn & Resort was truly a wonderful experience. The surrounding tranquility was a perfect escape, and the rooms offered comfortable and spacious accommodations. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, especially for our anniversary, which was a fantastic touch. If I had to point out a downside, I would say that the dining options could have been more varied, but it didn't take away from our amazing getaway.
