Very nice place, but I was denied to enter after 4 pm today cause they couldn’t find my visit from 2021. They have a policy that guest hasn’t visited over 2 years (can’t remember exactly, I think I heard 2) need to do a tour. We arrived after the tour ended for the day. They found my partner’s visit in 2021 but couldn’t find mine, which would have waived the tour and allowed me to enter. We got home and found the payment details on bank statement that proves our visit (for both my partner and me) in 2021. It was beyond frustrating and disappointing that I was denied entry cause their system won’t reflect my past visit accurately. Had looked forward to this visit for a month and was gonna meet up with our friends there and attended their dance event and had a fun night. Hope this won’t happen again to other guests in the future.
I have been here twice and felt very welcomed and safe. As a trans man, getting naked in public is a scary thing but I really enjoyed my time here.
This was the most amazing experience in the 11 years my best friend and I have known eachother. We often try for clothing optional/nudist locations for our vacations, and I can't explain how pleased I am that we ended up here.
The grounds are stunning, the people are AMAZING, the atmosphere and amenities are superb and you'll have the most wonderful time here.
Never in our lives have we met such caring, friendly, and accommodating people as we have here. Karaoke was a blast, Heather in the office was so helpful and kind and understanding, John who runs the Cafe makes the BEST biscuits and gravy and homemade pico (coming from Texans who know what we're talking about) Kari who gave us our tour was the most wonderful person, everyone was SO nice and made us feel right at home. We came in October so the mornings were beautiful and foggy with the clouds rolling over the tree lines! Day time brought sunny blue skies and amazing hiking weather. We can't wait to come back!!! There's so many people here I wish I could talk about, but bottom line is if you want to be around good people and have a nice time then book your trip here ASAP! We're already planning our trip here next summer!
The community here is so friendly and accepting. It's one of my favorite places to be where I am always welcomed and feel refreshed when I have to go.
Extremely uncomfortable experience. We went there to attend the theme parties and not be judged. Unfortunately, we experienced a lot of judgement. Even fully clothed at the bar where no minors are allowed, we were told that we should dance with about a foot of distance between us, not to kiss each other, and, even if we dance away from each other or anyone else, to make sure we don't dance "provocatively" such as move our hips or body roll. And that we were lucky to be able to even hold hands in public because that didn't use to be allowed.
They got their hands slapped by the IRS for abusing their non-profit status, so several people kept pressuring us to become members or else we wouldn't be welcome there. We had already applied when someone on the membership committee got in my face. And, shockingly, after I made the office aware of the incident, the committee denied our membership.
Just my opinion, but that is a terrible way of doing business.
If you are seeking a place to feel welcome, perhaps another choice would be in order.
