    We ate at the only restaurant at the resort,Pappas Dicks pizza. They made one of our pizzas wrong as we had ordered a simple two toping for the kids. They did not correct it but simply brought us a spoon to "scoop" off the topings we didn't order. We have children, and this pizza was ordered for them. My daughter tasted it and wouldn't eat it. I had to order her a grilled cheese sandwich. She was upset as she had to watch everyone else eat while they made her food. My older daughter didn't want to be rude and ate one slice where she could usually eat a whole small pizza by herself. I tasted the pizza that was incorrectly made, and it tasted horrible. We ended up only eating one slice. Our bill was over $75.00 for 3 soda, 2 small pizzas, a water, and a grilled cheese sandwich. My husband and I had one shot from the bar. When I paid the bills, I asked for the incorrect pizza to be removed from our ticket, and the manager informed me that she had already given us a discount. After inspecting the bill, this discount was a whole $2 off our bill. I told the manager that was unacceptable. She apologized yet did not take the pizza off, saying she couldn't do so. We will never eat at the resort again. $100 for a meal that was made incorrect, and that wasn't even fixed is ridiculous.

    The location and the cabins we stayed in were very clean and comfortable. All the staff we encountered were polite and professional. The lake views were very relaxing and peaceful.

    The hot water heater for our unit wasn’t big enough for the needs of a family of 3. I couldn’t use the bathtub because there wasn’t enough hot water to fill the tub. The fixtures and furnishings were dated- although clean considering. The main bedroom needs more substantial curtains. The blinds failed to block the neighbors floodlight when they turned it on at 12am. Wi-fi was spotty. The hot tub was down for maintenance during our stay as well:(

    Lovely view, fun things to do, great pizza onsite. Comfortable bed. Spacious apartment. Well appointed kitchen in our unit. Very clean.

    I did not like that the apartments had only a door knob lock and no dead bolt. Horseshoe Bend does not have good cell service signal we stayed in SOS mode the whole time except when we were at our apartment. There is no gas station in the area so you have to go about 8 miles out to fill up. Not a lot of things or families to do outside of the resort. Very secluded area, but if you want to do some shopping and exploring you will be driving about 30 minutes at least to get there.

    The apartment was so much nicer than we expected it to be. It was very clean. The concierge were very kind and accommodating from the moment we arrived until the moment we checked out. They helped me to find some fun things for my family to do. There is an on site restaurant called Papa Dicks. The night we went there was live music and the food was fantastic. If we visit again, I think it will be when it's warmer!

    I’ve become accustomed to having coffee in room with hotels and bnb’s. I did bring some instant because I just do, but a heads up that there is no coffee in the apt would be good!

    Large rooms. Clean, comfortable.

    Absolutely everything! Crown Lake Resort is my favorite spot! It's full of fun. The staff go up and above to make you welcome. Everything is well kept and clean. The activities are always fun. It's peaceful and very relaxing. Plus, there's no mosquitoes, which is a win-win for me! This is the 2nd time I have booked this year, and I plan to book again very soon!

    I think it would be great if each unit had a BBQ grill. I had a great upper and lower condo on the end but grills were further down from unit. Out toilet on upper level condo required plunging every now and then but even with these dislikes I would recommend this resort to others.

    Beautiful scenery and very relaxing. Facilities were extremely clean. Had a lot of activities for the kids. Staff friendly.

    There wasn’t a television in the bedroom! We didn’t have WiFi the first night and there was no one available to fix it. Everything shuts down super early and many of the “amenities” cost extra. Closest town with gas stations and restaurants is 12 miles away!

    It was very clean and functional. We even had a washing machine and dryer in the cabin. Very spacious. Lots of wild life and beautiful property! The Sandy beach and lake were peaceful. Most of the staff were super friendly and helpful.

    It was a nice weekend getaway overall. I will go again, but I will take my own can of ant spray.

    Ants....... I had to tell Mary at the desk that our cabin had ants on Friday night. They were on the counter, stove, sink, and some by the front door. She said the exterminator had been on the property at some time that week but probably skipped our cabin since there were so many to do. I was thinking since she took my phone number that I would get a call to tell me that they went in cabin to spray a can of Ortho Home Defense to get rid of them. I never did hear from them. When I woke up Sunday morning, the ants were worse. They were in groupings on the floor. They were even in the bathroom Sunday morning. I told a different lady at checkout about it again. Some of my visiting family went to the indoor pool and whirlpool. They mentioned that it wasn't really cleaned that well.

    The staff was friendly and helpful. The resort was close to several shopping places so didn't have to drive the extra 20 mins to get some essentials. Having a restaurant on the premises was a bonus. They had docks on the property so you could pull your boat/jet skis up to instead of going back to the marina.
