"Becca met me upon my arrival and helped take my things to the camper. She made sure I had everything I needed and said if there was anything I forgot or needed, to just ask. I didn't get to enjoy the trails as much as I wanted, because this was a working retreat for me. I would remind guests to bring bug repellent in case you do walk the trails to keep mosquitoes at bay.

"This motel was conveniently located near the interstate with a few food options nearby. The rooms were clean. We especially like the no smoking, no pets policy due to our allergies. Breakfast was excellent. The pool was a bit cold for our liking but everything else was fine for an overnight stay."

The Redbud Cottage--Beach & Quiet. Lake Sara Waterfront & Wood Fires.

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our long weekend trip with our family was great! The house is very comfortable and has just about everything you might need. The view of the lake, availability of fire wood for camp fires, and kayaks and canoe for enjoying the lake were awesome! Beautiful sunrises and loved seeing lots of nature and wildlife right from the yard. Everything about our visit was pleasant and we hope to go back sometime. Communication from the host was great! Thanks for a great weekend of calm, peace and memories."

Best Western Delta Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Receptionist did an excellent job at check in. Was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Don't usually see that these days. Swimming pool was a little cold and was not able to handle that. Could have had some laundry facilities on the property and that would raise the level of the facility. I will always stay there every time I vome to visit my daughter in Charleston"

Paradise on Bluebird

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing VRBO property for our girls’ trip with two of my lifelong best friends!! It had everything we needed, wanted and more. It was so comfortable and we were so impressed with whomever did the decorating for this home. Positive sayings everywhere you look. Condiments in the fridge. Coffee for the Keurig too. Games. Incredible outdoor area. We had such a great time and are talking about coming back again next year!!"
