Golden Sands Resort

We rented 2 lake side rooms at Golden Sands Resort. It was a nice clean motel on a beautiful lake. It was a little old fashion but that was part of the charm. The family said they felt like they were in resort from dirty dancing! The staff was pleasant and helpful. It is in a great location easy access to busier tourist areas if you desire or just relax around a fire watching the the sunset! We will return.

To start when we arrived the women who met us was very short with us and we were overcharged $25 with no explanation. She acted like we were bothering her by checking in. We were handed 4 pages of things we were not to do. The carpets in the room were filthy. I did not remove my shoes on the carpet they were that bad. The chairs at the dining room table felt like you were going to break them.The bed was horrible. I mean like sleeping on a peice of plywood. Curtains were old and had a faint odor. They advertise hi speed wifi. When you arrive you recieve a paper saying what you can not do with wifi. Which dosnt matter because you can't connect unless you stand near office. The free kayaks need a $20 deposit that will not be returned should you not return within the hour time limit. Also the website makes it seem like all the rooms are near the water. Not the case. The upper rooms have to walk down the driveway and across the lawn to get to the beach area that is shared with the the hotels on either side. I feel with some updating the rooms could be wonderful. View was beautiful. Beach was sandy.

This is our 2nd time in the same place and since we loved it so much we came back we stayed in Golden sands on August 25-27 and we had a great time On the way there we realized we will get there after the office was closed so I called and ask how can we get into the room The women ( I learned later she was the owner ) who spoke with me was so nice and she said not to worry she left me my envelope with key to the room in a place that was easy to find The room was cleaned and cozy We had 2 queen beds in the room At night it was a bit chilly the owner send her worker to open the heat in the room within seconds the room was so hot we needed to open a window The area around the room was so clean and welcoming the nice man who works there took our garbage few times a day I must tell you guys it’s a dream location I have never been in a place so close to the water line They have a nice deck built over the water and I drank my morning coffee there watching the sunrise and later that day we set there watching the the sunset This is a small family friendly place Let’s not forget the fire pit right by the water I am planing 2 trips for next summer girls trip and Hubby and me again
