I had a pleasant stay at Fairway Forest Resort, with access to a private lake and lots of hiking trails. However, the units felt quite dated and the master bathroom was quite small. On the plus side, the peaceful location and the beautiful view of the golf course were lovely. Overall, it was a good experience, but the room upgrades are definitely needed for a perfect stay. 🏞️

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at Fairway Forest Resort. the updates in the room made it feel fresh and enjoyable. However, the noise from the neighboring room and the warmth in the bedroom were minor drawbacks. While the resort itself doesn't have many amenities right onsite, the nearby activities like hiking, fishing, and skiing made for a fulfilling visit.

My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. While the initial condo was in distasteful condition, the management quickly moved us to a beautifully renovated unit that was much more enjoyable. The location is great, but the lingering dampness in the unit detracted from the experience. All in all, I appreciated the cleanliness of the second room, but the overall state of the first condo was disappointing.

We had a mixed experience during our stay. The location was a bit remote, but it provided a peaceful atmosphere overlooking the golf course. While the kitchen was well-stocked and the unit was spacious, soundproofing issues made our stay less than ideal. On the other hand, the amenities like the pool and lake for boat rentals added to the experience.

Overall, my stay at this resort was pleasant, though there were some drawbacks. The grounds were lovely and well-maintained, which I appreciated. However, the condo itself felt a bit outdated, and the amenities were off-site with inconvenient hours. While the beds were comfortable, I found the kitchen quite basic and under-equipped for cooking. The price seemed steep for what was offered, especially since many local dining options were closed during my visit.
