They have reasonable prices and great quality cabins. Overall if your looking for one of THE most relaxing vacation spots I recommend crystal beach resort.
Stayed at the resort 9/17. Nice clean cabin...great smallmouth fishing. We went with their guided package. Jody and his son work hard and know where the fish are. Highly recommend!!
Really nice folks. Set me up for a weekend when I was stranded. Wish I was able to make it out fishing but didn't have any stuff with me. Would def stay there again.
We had a great time here! Jody, Tonya and their son did everything they could to make our fishing trip most enjoyable. They made us feel at home and offered excellent fishing advice and pointed out the best places to find fish. We will definitely be back!
Have been there at least 4 times already. Looking very much to our trip in 2 weeks. Jodi and Tonya do an excellent job of info of lake structure and type of bait to use.
