| Terrible Resort |
|
We spent the weekend of August 1, 2008 at this dump. We will never stay here again nor will we ever recommend it. Our room was beyond filthy. There was a huge, gaping hole in the window screen which prevented us from opening the windows without a parade of insects of the crawling and flying variety sharing the bathroom beds with us. There was a horrific stench of cat urine which greeted us as we entered our room. There was a beer bottle at the base of the stairs which was there on Friday when we arrived and was STILL there on Sunday when we left. The bed sheets were stained, the bottom of the box spring was on the floor, there were nails sticking out of the bed frame on which my daughter cut herself. There was a HUGE cobweb above the sink which was there when we arrived and left. The carpeting in the room was filthy and never vacuumed, and was so soggy as to be spongy. There is no maintenance work done at all on the buildings of this resort. How was the food? Yuck. Everythi... Read more |

Upon our arrival, we were sent to this "building" called the Terrace. The rooms reminded me of some of the horrible residences I see in my work as a paramedic in New York. The room wreaked of mold, and it looks like the place has done NO updating since before I was born. Then we were sent to a "deluxe" room, which was to the level of cheap motel but at least we had company- a spider larger than my hand, flies, mosquitoes, and some black mold around the base of the shower. I was supposed to be there for 3 nights, suffered through one, and we ran out the next morning to a real hotel. The only redeeming thing was cute animals. When we tried to get a refund for the unused nights, we got met with resistance, but ultimately prevailed.

Just spent the week end here arriving Friday, and departing Sunday, the facility is family operated which means everybody wants the guests to be taken care of. The food, drinks, and live entertainment are all good. The tap room is the happening place. The rooms are OK but are nothing really special. Where this place shines is in taking care to be absolutely certain that you have a good time. I attended the Spring Vette Fest and will again next year. The Blackthorne plans activities down to the smallest detail. |

I really enjoyed staying at the Blackthorne and would return again. There is nothing fancy about it but it was clean and the grounds were well kept. The family who owns it are very nice and the food was good and lots of it. It's a great getaway for family and kids. Mountain air, scenery is a nice change from the city. |
