We stayed at Indian Head Resort and while there were some wonderful moments, overall, it left us a bit disappointed. The grounds are beautiful, and the lake offers lovely paddle boating, but the amenities seem to be declining while prices are going up. The service was good, but we ran into issues with the TV and missing entertainment options that we used to enjoy. It's a shame because this place holds a special place in our hearts.

The room itself had some outdated decor and issues with the electrical system, but it was mostly clean. However, there were soft spots in the floor which made me nervous.

We had high hopes for dining but found that the food quality didn't live up to the expectations. It often tasted as if it had been frozen and quickly reheated.

The facilities have so much potential. While the lake and pools have a great atmosphere, many amenities seemed to have declined.

I had an incredible weekend at Indian Head Resort with my two daughters. The staff were unbelievably helpful and polite, and we enjoyed fantastic live music that kept the dance floor buzzing. Our room offered stunning views, and the cleanliness of the pools and hot tubs added to the great experience. Watching the staff prepare for weddings, even amidst the rain, showed their dedication. I can't wait to return, hopefully for winter!

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, where our large group felt right at home with spacious rooms and fantastic amenities. The outdoor heated pool was a big hit for all ages, and the views from the property were breathtaking. On the downside, some cabins were dated and needed maintenance, particularly in cleaning and upkeep, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was great for our group but could use some improvements in certain areas.

I recently stayed at a resort that had a mix of good and bad experiences. The location is convenient for accessing local attractions, but our cabin was quite dated and in need of some cleaning and maintenance. The pool and hot tub were enjoyable, but also required better upkeep. Dining was a hit or miss, with breakfast being good, but dinner service left much to be desired. Overall, the view was fantastic, but there are certainly areas that need improvement.
