If you are looking for a beautiful and peaceful place to get away to this is the place. The scenery is awesome, the lodge is fantastic and you couldn't ask for better host. Andrew and Codi couldn't do enough for us and were available to answer any questions that we had. I look forward to our next stay and appreciate the friendship we have developed. I would put more than 5 stars if it was possible!

We stayed a few nights in the RV at Sweet Springs and really enjoyed our stay. The kids are already asking when we get to go back. For a small fee we were able to bring our dog. The host responded immediately to all questions we asked. The indoor facility with the inflatables was a hit with the kids.

We spent two weeks here. During that time we were able to get an rv and Kendall let us park it on the property. This was a blessing. After having lost so much in the disaster in NC and getting back to a normal place to live. We were able to hang out all day with our dogs, walk the property. There is a lot of trails that are steep but fun. Explore nature! I can’t even begin on the amenities. The bounce houses and laundry alone was such an amazing thing to have. We had the best time here. It truly felt like a tiny home. Kendall was super responsive when we needed anything. The cabin was exactly as pictured and clean. We were very happy with this. If we’re in this area again we will definitely be back! Thank you guys so much for everything.

My family and I stayed at Sweet Springs over Christmas. We had a great time! The property was perfect for the 10 of us. The owners were very attentive and answered our texts and emails right away. The grounds are beautiful and the cabin had everything we needed for a stress free holiday. We will definitely use this venue again!
